Migrating a Radio Station To Linux?
allikat_uk asks: "I'm a DJ for a net radio station (amongst other hobbies). I want to migrate from an XP platform running (SAM Broadcaster) to a Linux based solution. I don't need to host the server, as the station does that, I just need a nice GUI solution to stream the MP3 files to the server. I need to run 2 streams, 64k stereo, and 22k mono in MP3 to a shoutcast clone server. My current software has a nice MySQL database to make quickly finding the tracks I want easy, dual playback 'decks' and easy voiceovers. Is there a Linux equivalent available under GPL?"
People don't write open source software so that others can write their own, they write it so that others will use it. Its one thing if someone is bitching about a problem they have with an open source application, but the whole point of open source is that others will use it, so you can't really criticize someone for wanting to use it.
