Run ShoutCAST without a DJ?

Basically, I'm starting to host ShoutCAST servers. The most frequent question I get is "Can I have it play thru a list of songs when there is no DJ?", meaning if there is no DJ streaming to the server, if ShoutCAST can just play the contents of a directory that has their uploaded MP3s. Is there a way to do this?

Also, I know you can set a cap for the max users, but am I able to set a cap for max bitrate? eg, they pay for a 32kbps, so I don't want them using 128kbps, etc.

The DNAS does not source itself.

If your DNASs use Linux, then check out sc_trans (can source from a directory).

Else, a Winamp/DSP combo (or other source) is still required.

It's not a competition.

Questions get asked, questions get answered.

As for the other question:

The DNAS doesn't have provisions for this. You'll need to use some server side bandwidth throttlers or write a little script to periodically check the DNASs bitrate versus the bitrate paid for.
