I can't connect. It's almost as if a firewall is in the way or if you have a router you didn't forward the port.

Nevermind, I was hitting the wrong IP. The player on your webpage isn't working. It seems to be trying to play two different streams at the same time according to my firewall. Tested on both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Your stream from the page player: 76.185.42.125:8040
Some other stream from the page player: 184.107.202.178:8000

Odd.

Here's some more bad news:
It's nothing but dead air even though it's showing proper metadata.

Here's even more bad news:
It's buffering like crazy, so even if I could hear something it would be all chopped up.

k, the audio is there but you're still buffering like crazy. The stream keeps stopping and starting. I think your bitrate is way too high for your connection speed. 192kbps is probably way way way way way way way too high for a Roadrunner cable modem internet connection. I recommend switching to AAC and throttling that way down to something below 100kbps, below 96kbps would be even better.

Not buffering like crazy at the moment but that's probably only because there weren't alot of listeners at the time I was listening. 128kbps mp3 is probably still too much, especially for supporting "500" listeners on your home connection.

Now with opportunity to listen I also noted a couple of your songs had some audio signal clipping. Might want to look into which software/hardware mixer/processor might be causing that or if it's just the song source.
