RE: Inexpensive/Easy Way to Stream Live Performances

["Krispen Hartung" <info@krispenhartung.com>]

Yes, that sounds like what I want to do alright...streaming MP3 directly
from my laptop.  I am using XP. The trick is that I'd like to do it from
my host and not an external  web server. It would be sort of like those
internet services who provide peer-to-peer file sharing, rather than
relying on an intermediate server.  I suppose I could setup my laptop as
a webserver, if I knew how to do that. Whatever the case, it needs to
work wherever I go and there is WI-FI access.

Kris,

This sounds like a great idea and I wish you the best of luck.  It
certainly seems like it should be do-able.  The solution I'm imagining
would involve running your audio into the laptop, doing a continuous
conversion into mp3, then streaming that out.  Certainly doesn't sound
too difficult, or too taxing on the hardware.  Unfortunately, I don't
know of any applications off the top of my head.

What OS are you using?  I think I could cook something up on my linux
box using available tools and a simple script, but that probably
wouldn't help you if you're on Windows.  OSX might have similar
capabilities, but I don't know.
