ZX Radio is an alternative.

ZXNet echo conference «music.zx»

From Kirill Frolov To All 24 October 2006

Hello, All Launched into test operation to hone the technology: http://mercury.probapribor.spb.ru:8000/ To listen you need: Winamp (http://www.winamp.com/player/) or another audio player capable of, what is called, listening "Internet radio". Perhaps, if not already installed, installing codecs (http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/). Then you can click on the link (http://mercury.probapribor.spb.ru:8000/test.ogg). Technical details: “broadcasting” is carried out using open formats and codecs -- using icecast (http://www.icecast.org/) and codecs ogg vorbis (http://www.vorbis.com/). The average flow rate is 96kbit/sec. The audio source for icecast is currently the player Ay_Emul (author S. Bulba). The player connects to icecast as follows: diagram: Picture: http://fk0.pp.ru/pub/scheme.jpg There are certain difficulties with audio output from esd and input into ices2 accordingly, and the combination WinESD - esound itself is not very clear works. The difficulties, however, I think, are surmountable. Why were 3 computers needed: we could have done with two (one encodes, one distributes - maybe just one, but on a wide channel). One way or another, it turns out, a Windows machine is needed. AyEmul latest versions at least and it works stably and generally well under Wine, it does not work with esd. Judging byAnyway, this is exactly the problem with the combination of AyEmul and esd. Or maybe I have wine itself pretty rancid (20050310). Broadcasting technology will be described in more detail later... after the decision a number of technical difficulties.

Hello, scl^mc scl> valid mp3 frame not found. and ay-land plays perfectly because there is no mp3 there. completely logical. ogg there.

From Yakovlev Anton To All 24 October 2006

Hello fk0 valid mp3 frame not found. and ay-land plays perfectly

From Yakovlev Anton To All 24 October 2006

Hello fk0 oops. :rolleyes; How; Would you like to force Winamp to play?

From Kirill Frolov To All 25 October 2006

Hello, scl^mc scl> oops. :rolleyes; How; Would you like to force Winamp to play? I installed the codec -- http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/. After which winamp played. I am not a very experienced Windows user and I could be wrong about something, but in my opinion this enough. In Linux it can be played immediately (but libogg was installed there right away). Of course mp3 is more common. But it seems to provide several worse sound quality - cuts off high frequencies (which is for chiptunes sensitive). On the other hand, after ogg some unnatural stereo effect appears and volume jitter. :-/

From Yakovlev Anton To All 25 October 2006

Hello fk0 I have ogg-vorbis in my k-lite codec pack, it is installed. downloaded from this site, but Winamp doesn’t give a damn - it doesn’t play, damn it :(

From Orionsoft To All 25 October 2006

Hello, The Exploited Real producer & real server and everything works on 1 machine :o

From Mark Antonov To All 25 October 2006

Hello, scl^mc copyright is nonsense. except of course the music used in commercial games

From Yakovlev Anton To All 25 October 2006

Hello fk0 fk0> And in general this is all a stupid idea. Because it's copyright. I'm not sure I'm in fk0> able to poll fk0> N tens or hundreds of ZX composers and that at least half of them fk0> will give permission. then play the music of those who agree. although it won’t be enough... actually, how say. Let's take 10 musicians who agreed. there will be tracks about everyone let them be 20 each (the best in their opinion). we already have 200 Mouzons that can be shuffle this way and that. average duration - well, let it be 2 minutes. total we get 400 minutes, i.e. about 6 hours 30 minutes. it will already look like something. IMHO :)

From Roman Kuraev To All 27 October 2006

Hello fk0 is everything bent? error syncing to mpeg. even after installing codecs. neither WMP nor WinAmp 5.1 Surround Edition. :(

From Mikhail Kuplenkov To All 28 October 2006

Hello ch41ns4w why bother encoding Sinclair's Mouzons in MP3 in advance with high bitrate, then to suit the needs of the radio you can change the codec and bitrate, but in parts transferring to the Internet, I’m not an expert, you need to copy a real working diagram of some kind internet radio stations
