[laveur]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone can share a bit of code with me on how to connect to a shoutcast server, with metadata. I can play the audio no problem, its just figuring out how to connect that is the problem. Please help

Jkey... 96K aac+??? Why so high? 64k is just fine, at 96k you are almost into the realm of regular AAC.

i intend on using flac/wav files for origonal audio.
64k is fine but to my ears there are less artifacts
at 96k.no good right now though it takes a long time to upload wav playlists to the server .

Thats not only to your ears - Thats a fact

96k aac+ could maybe comparible to a 128 kbit/s mp3, but never a 64k, never!
