newbie needs some help, couple questions!!
Ok heres the scoop. Currently we have a server which has no less than three music e-commerce shops running on it. Each shop has sound clips for people to click on and listen to. Currently these are recorded using real audio. trouble is these files are not being streamed but downloaded and listen to via real player. as more people are listening more data is transferred so on so forth everything gets slower. Between the 3 sites the traffic is about 5000+ visits a week to listen to clips.
We are investigating installing streaming software on the server to stream the sound files whether that be in mp3 or real audio. Looking like cheapest option is mp3. anyway. nned to know a few things....
SHOUTcast -
is it any good?
will it enable multiple web sites to stream multiple sound clips?
how is this set up if so?
one SC server for each web site?
or one SC server for all?
how do i set it up to do this?
any help people have much appreciated.
