Great contribution! Thank you so much! Well, now I see we have plenty of options! I am just interested in the different options we have. Thanks for the fluendo tip! It is great. And all those commercial alternatives! I will, some day, for my band, now that I think about it, set up a streaming radio server for the songs of our album!... When we have 2 or 3 of them. -- Renich Bon Ciric <renich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Woralelandia
