Your Husband Is Cheating On Us
With the exception of item "A" below, the tests in this section make use of the 'Husband' program. This consists of a single 31.9MB mp3 file derived from from a 5th Saturday program of the same name.

Here are some listening options; please test them out and let me know how well or how badly each of the options works for you.
  1. Play a small bluegrass mp3 file using the 'embed' HTML tag
    (requires the Quicktime browser plugin):

  2. Play an mp3 file located on a mac.com server:
    1. via a metafile on mac.com
    2. directly from the mp3 itself

  3. Play an mp3 file located on my home machine:
    1. via a metafile on scrafford.com
    2. directly from my home machine

  4. A couple of other entertaining things:
    1. Here Comes My Ball And Chain
    2. 5th Saturday

If we wanted to use an actual streaming server of our own, we would do something with tools such as these. Some are open source, some are not. Most are free.

 

The GNUMP3d streaming MP3/OGG server

 

jetAudio and their directory of currently-broadcasting sites. Select "Talk/Spoken" from that page's 'browse' form and look for an entry named "Scrafford Tests the JetAudio Server."

Pirate Radio

shoutcast server :: icecast.org

speex.org :: flac
