RE: Inexpensive/Easy Way to Stream Live Performances

["Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com>]

So, you have used the winamp / Line In / Oddcast system successfully? This 
works for me. I recall that last year I connected to Bernhard's winamp 
stream at the last day of Y2K4 no problem. I'll give that a try and try to 
have something for everyone to test by the end of this week.

It does seem odd to me that with all the technology and fast internet 
services we have now, that this is so difficult to achieve.
