Look, I'm really not trying to put a damper on this, but I do have a fair bit of experience with webcasting due to a rather horrible job that I used to have
You have two basic options. Streaming a playlist of pre-recorded material (like you're doing now) or encoding live audio on the fly, which generally involves a fairly powerful server, preferably dedicated, and specialist software.
If you want to broadcast a discussion or gadget hour, by far the best way would be to conduct the sesion over skype, msn, etc. and use audio capture software to record the whole thing. Think of the benefits. It can be edited before being encoded to mp3 ready for broadcast.
The same stream could also then be encoded to any number of formats, including .amr, and the session could be split up into fragments to facilitate downloading for people on low bandwidth connections like GPRS.
Live stuff over the internet is pretty heavy and not all that easy to do. There might be free stuff out there to help make it happen, there might not be. There certainly never used to be. Either way, don't you agree that pre-recording is a good idea all round, at least to start with?

@ cyco - I agree with you, right now I don't have the technology to do a live cast, let allone doing oen with mutiple people, I wouldnt know where to begin, but for things such as news and debats I think it would be a great idea to do them via skype just because its much easier (for me)
the one thing is im not using shoutcast and as of yet im not fully sure what I can and cannot do although am experimenting slowly with it.
It could be possible for me to do a live broadcast right now although for me to do this I would have to sort out allot of things.
p.s. I wanst ignoring you earlier just listening to you before replying

No worries mate, I've had a very bad day and I wasn't aiming that post at anyone in particular!
What streaming software are you using then? I assumed it was shoutcast from the port director in the URL, that's all. As I said, I'm quite into webcasting so I'd be very interested to know what you're using. I have a mac too so it doesn't matter if it's mac only

@axxxr: If you know Fox News Channel's tagline you would've known that I was taking a jab at them and other mainstream outlets.
