Morning guys

Can I ask you a lil favor? Could you please check my bercool internet radio? I am testing the bandwidth and would like to see how far it goes :)

Can you connect at all, does it buffer too long, disconnects, etc. ?

"Raindrops keep falling on my head"...

No buffer problems, immediate connects, no disconnects, and that on a 233 Mhz G3 while downloading "Dawn of the Dead", "Robots", "Elektra" and "The Ring 2", serving this weblog, and browsing other weblogs. (I dont need no stinking Tiger).

Nice jazzy stuff. Much better.

It seems to be completely stable. I'm playing it in iTunes. No drop-outs. I could do with a little more kbps. Or consider to go mono. Good mono is better then to heavily compressed stereo.

128kbs is minimum for stereo, but 64 and up are pleasant for mono.

Leuk dat Audioscrobbler.

Goeie tip!

Oh and by the way Jealousy, reception of your stream here A-OK at 96k mono. You may want to try 128k stereo, to see if you have the necessary bandwith.
