Your caps lock button is stuck.
Please spell words out. We're providing technical support, not chatting.
The maximum number of listeners is governed by your upload bandwidth and your streaming bitrate.
Check out the Sticky post titled:
SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled:
1. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> DSLReports Bandwidth tester(Only be concerned with the UPLOAD bandwidth)
2. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Listener Calculator
3. DNAS Stuff -> Bandwidth -> CasterClub's Bandwidth Calculator

Use 1 to find your upload.
Use 2 to determine the number of listeners you can support at your selected streaming bitrate.

Jay (KXRM) also has a Bandwidth Calculator.
If you have access to the source (such as a Winamp/DSP combo) then yes. What you put and play in Winamp is what you broadcast.
Yes, bandwidth is bandwidth. Many web hosting services just allow web content, not services to used on their servers. Conatct them to see if they'll let you run a DNAS (SHOUTcast server) on their servers.

so if a webhost allows us to put our mp3s or wav files on their server then we don't need to be online when the radio is being broadcasted is that a true statement or am i talking out of me butt:S

If you put your mp3s on a webhost that allows that, you won't be broadcasting. You'll be providing mp3s for download.

Please read your webhosting ToS and/or ask the webhost administrators.
