    Dear list: i have been to both winamp/nullsoft/shoutcast radio page as well as www.live365.com and the pages look the same . are they related? I guess they both use nullsofts shoutcast technology to allow any one with apc to webcast throught the web. but is it the same company. The pages look the same in terms of layout and all. Both have a display showing how many people are "tuned in" . The numbers are very small. smaller on live365 .com than on winamp-radio but its a small number still listening to any one show at any onetime . The only way to make money off this is to be the one providing the server ,in this case nullsoft and www.live365.com. This may be good in the populist sense but hardly the revolution in indeendent muic we have been promised. you arent gonna break any new artists when you are playing your "show" to 4 people (live365.com or 40 people on one of the bigger winamp stations> . On the other hand we need someone on the list to get his own show!
    !
     to represent the lists vibe on the net. I cant do as i surf from work and on this crummy Virinconnect webpliance. but someone like jeroen could play onef his cd on the web. Just get the space and play one of your cd "s. You have already done the sequencing and mixing just rip it and play it on the web
