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)."

    Because we're gonna run out of IPv4 address, and port forwarding is very annoying. IPv6 is the future, but it's just not gonna work if we leave it up to the users to do something about it.

    "ohhh pretty colors, we'll buy it!!"

    In my experience, that is how bosses make buying descisions...

    As well as the average Joe, just today, after recommening an acquintance several Linux distros (he is looking to try it, out of interest), he asked: "What about Lindows? Look how good this looks!" and gave this link to a *really* silly flash commercial: http://images.lindows.com/closed/LindowsRock.html.

    Look and learn folks! This is apparently how you get users... sigh.

    The point is you can listen to it without wasting disk space. Also turns you on to new music you otherwise wouldnt know about. I dont listen to traditional radio, nor do I watch mtv -- The only way I can learn about new music is streams and word of mouth.

    Listening to a good stream has a much better flow to -- Random mp3s jump from song to song, but a good stream is setup more like a good radiostation, where songs flow together rather than jumping from an aggressive song to some slow ballad
