Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay
Remco den Besten writes "In order to promote the IPv6 protocol, some Dutch enthousiasts deploy an IPv6 MP3 stream relay server.
So, do something different with your IPv6 connectivity and listen to the streams offered!
See & listen (both IPv4 and IPv6)."
...by supplying an IPv4 stream as well, because we acknowledge it's a lot of hassle for people to use IPv6! Genius!
What is the purpose for it?
IT_GUY to Boss: "Sir I believe its time we began supporting IPv6"
Boss: "And what are the benifits?"
IT_GUY: "More IP's better system etc."
Boss: "What about MP3 Streaming, does it have that?"
IT_GUY: "Why yes it does sir."
Boss: "Well then load it up!"
Ahh if only pretty music and pictures were the key components of Open Source software, would make convincing implementation so much easier.
"Look at all these benchmarks"..."ohhh pretty colors, we'll buy it!!"
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
Will this be the first IPv6 service to be shut down by the RIAA?
Beep beep.
Once again, they do something *right*.
C|N>K
But who actually listens to MP3 streams anyway?
There must be thousands of wannabe dj's for every listener. If they're automated streams, then what's the point if it isn't something really special (like Spamradio or Nectarine).
Are there any technical benefits by using IPv6 over IPv4 btw? Something about frame sizes or something?
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
to see an honest admission of what people really are using the internet for and see it's early implementation with IPv6... This will convince an interminable number of those who were sceptics for the sake of being so...
Lots and lots of dance and similar junk. I think I'm staying away from IPv6 for a while.
Did you hear that HDTV is an area where Pr0n _isn't_ leading the field?
:O
Evidently you can see too much detail.

Well, this is interesting. They're relaying radio station streams using IPv6. I wonder if the people at Radio Heart (my favorite Internet Radio Station) would be interested in supporting this. I don't know if they'd want to "sell out" and just be some kind of poster child for IPv6 though. But I suppose I could e-mail them and ask them if it's something they'd like. It may give them more exposure.
This is the furst guy to do something like this with IPv6.
I guess he is also the first IPv6 user that will be sued by the RIAA.
lol
I believe that porn is also the reason the VCR really took off. You can watch pornos in the privacy of your own home. Isn't it great? I'd also have to say that if virtual reality ever takes off, it'll most likely be because of porn. Don't laugh. It's true.
A patent-encumbered lossy audio compression scheme. I cringe every time I hear it. Why couldn't it be flac streaming?

All the site admins need to encourage IPv6 use! a good slashdoting
Not a troll
Wow, IPv6 really made those mp3s sound better. It was almost as if I were there!

This just in: RIAA uses the DMCA to shut down all IPv6 services, claiming they have the potential to distribute illegal MP3s.

But we all deserve death, don't we? Erm, eventually?
FLAC is patent-free just like ogg, but it is lossless compression. How about I use a lossy compression on your OS, hmm???

Look at websites. Porn sites were the first to develop "high-tech" password systems for the web, the first to develop quality credit card processing systems. The first in offering streaming videos, clips, high-quality pictures, etc...
Look at DVDs. Can you give me any other reason for "Multiple Angles" on DVDs?
Although the description makes it sound otherwise, the streams are available only in IPv6. What is both in IPv4 and IPv6 is the page with the information about the stream.

"Using IP6 for this thing, are they? Sounds hi-tech, but I hope it works for all the IPv6 users out there. Both of them!"
If so, I really think this joke about the slow pace in which IPv6 is being adopted should really be taken as just that. A joke. And as a few child posters pointed out, music and porn DO drive technology.
The government is backing IPv6 now, remember?
It's great that they are now streaming in IPv6. I wonder when RIAA will track them down and force them to pay the royalties on the audio streams they are providing. Perhaps people will start migrating p2p applications to IPv6 so at least for the time being, RIAA will be behind the times. When RIAA catches up, just move the application to the new experimental IP stack. Welcome to the new cat-and-mouse game.
We all die, yes... But that doesn't mean we deserve it. Read a dictionary sometime.
I know you were joking, but apparently this is kind of a problem for TV actors. Some shows that now shoot in HDTV, the actors don't like it because you can see too much detail, ie. flaws in their appearance, things makeup doesn't cover enough for such a high resolution. Supposedly once they get the hang of lighting things differently for HDTV, they should be able to go around the problem.
Can you imagine people watching "Friends" and realizing 'Hey... Wait a second, Poebe looks like she's 73 years old!'
MTV quit playing music years ago.
Even if I load the ipv6 module in linux and use ipv6 applications. Doesn't my ISP have to route ipv6 packets before I can even use it?

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
If they would police what they got, unlock the black zones and just plain PUSH nat instead of IPv6 as the solution vs the tracking ability and geo-locators which is what they really want. Why on Earth would you want the general users on PUBLIC numbers anyways ? just to make it easier for the meatheads to get reamed by a spammer or some DOS trojan. The VERY MYTH that we are running out of IP's is hysterically funny to me, when HUGE blocks are assigned to companies that have been DEFUNCT FOR YEARS NOW, and the so-called BLACK ZONES the government is 'hiding' are actually be heisted by the spammers on a regular basis BECAUSE they are unused just high lights the fact that once again the 'NEED' is manufactured by someone with somthing to gain....Let the consumers drive the market and quite biting the corps hook everytime they drop a worm eh ?? Users will BUY or HAVE DEVELOPED what they want, what they DON't you will seee hang around for years like a zombie and be pushed by INDUSTRY and payed corporate mouth-pieces ^H^H^H^H^H politicians...
Of course I will be send-pr'ing the thing, so watch your favourite FreeBSD ports mailinglist.
I'll post it to my website when I have tested it ;)
Fuck you, asshole. There's a shitload of posts that need to be modded up, why do you waste your time modded a 0 to -1. You stupid fucking useless waste of space.
xmms-ipv6 patched failed for me, as mpg123 latest version failed (wanted to use my v4 to read v6)
so here is a little trick on how to read the stream:
use latest mpg123 & an ipv6 enabled lynx:
lynx -dump http://ipv6.lkml.org:8000/difm |
or use latest cvs mpg321 with a read-patch applied (which is in the bug list of sourceforge mpg321 project), else it will read the stream too fast
and use same kind of command than before
How do you say, "What the fuck do you think you're doing" in Dutch?

Good... Maybe someone else will have better luck convincing Nullsoft that ipv6 actually IS desired:

Btw, same goes for ipv6 support in Mozilla for windows... the *nix versions have had ipv6 support for a while now, right?
Are there any other ipv6 alternatives for windows? IE and Windows Media Player both have ipv6 support for win2k sp3 and up as well as XP, but I'd rather not use those if possible.
This should have not been modded down. It was a joke. Har Har
If you're going to push for a major networking change with streaming media, go for multicast instead. It has a huge direct benefit for streaming media.. The stream source would only need bandwidth for one stream, not one stream multiplied by the number of listeners.
If you're looking for a linux IPv6-capable player, try MPlayer. It's working great for me on their mirror of WolfFM. IPv6 support should be automatic.

Weird.
Joke, huh? I'm still waiting to laugh.
If the multicasting(that saves bandwidt) means the station can up the bitrate.
FRA: STFU GTFO
It seem trivial to implement P2P radio. If you send out just 2 streams, and every listener resends the stream to just 2 guys, you can reach 2046 listeners with just 10 hops.

It really cracks me up that this is a site to promote stuff. With its lack of design, poor English (yes I know they are Dutch), and tech talk, it is only preaching to the choir.
The problem with IPv6, and for that matter just about any open-source project, is not that it lacks the marketing budget, it's that it's promoted by pale faced geeks that don't know or care about the rest of the world thinks.
Well without the "outside world's" approval nothing will happen. IPv6 is dead in the water unless one of the following to things happens.
1) The transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is completely transparent. If a user has any compatibility problems or has to type anything into a command line forget it. If you have to rely on the public to actually learn something and do it, game over.
2) Every manufacturer of software and hardware will have to plan the obsolescence of IPv4. Like they are trying to do with HDTV, What they did with Vinyl LP's and Eight Tracks. This will take years, and when they finally have it, it too will be obsolete.
Shit jokes like yours get modbombed. Nothing personal.
This article interested me in ipv6, so in true /. fashion I went off on a tangent and found ARIN's policy doc on ipv6 at http://www.arin.net/policy/ipv6_policy.html
if you scroll to section 4.1 you'll find an interesting paragraph, obviously for a range of numbers more or less infinite they have to find a way of overcharging and making them valuable.
stupid is as stupid... uhhhh

Is this supposed to be something new? I remember seeing IPv6 MP3 streams (and later IPv6 Vorbis streams) a year or so ago, and I'd guess they weren't new even then.
To me, this sounds more like "hey, let's set up an IPv6 relay to promote our stream, perhaps we can even get a Slashdot post". It's not like IPv6 hasn't been a part of Icecast2 for a while now ;-)
/* Steinar */
(This comment is of course GPLed.)
I've also hacked my own copy of icecast2 to accept connections over IPv6, and now listen to TripleJ and various other Sydney-based radio stations regularly online.
:(
Just playing my part to support the adoption of IPv6..
My IPv6 Ogg Vorbis stream keeps me sane!

If you want to listen to Nectarine radio in IPv6, point your player to (IPv6 only): nectarine.ipv6.oulu.fi:8002 or nectarine.ipv6.oulu.fi:8004 or nectarine.ipv6.oulu.fi:8006 for different bitrates. Replace nectarine with sik1 if you wish to access the IPv4 stream instead. I set the IPv6 portion up something like a year ago, and it's been working reliably ever since.
If they aren't multicasting this stream, then they are doing IPv6 absolutely no favours.
Multicast is the heart of IPv6. It may be underutilized by IPv4, but there is NO reason not to use it in IPv6 right from the start.
Unicast streaming is incredibly wasteful and there is no reason to do it in IPv6 land.
I have done it with older Icecast and now with Icecast2 more than year already. Look at http://icecast.version6.net:8888/status.xsl
These moderators need to get their heads checked.... Complete overreaction to a diss about another worthless slashdot story.

Streaming MP3's is nice, but I can do that with IPv4.
