Anyone know of or have a good shoutcast server? I've been listening to "Digitally Imported" for a little under a year now and they've become really sellout and only play their sets so people will buy them off of CD now and i'm sick of it. So if you guys know of anything please share the Info below

Cheers~

Bandwith is expensive

They're forced to do that... The provider they're with gets a large cut of the commissions made on the sales of cds...

The only way the guy who runs DigitallyImported is going to get all that bandwidth to run 128kbps shoutcast streams is if he has a deal set up with the provider like that... otherwise there's no way he could do it..

Yes, bandwith is very expensive.
And DI uses roughly around a dedicated T3
so you can imagine the amount of money DI makes to support that. Therefore they have to become sell-outs to support themselves, or get rid of 90% of their listeners.

Your best bet is to find another station on live365 or shoutcast, look under Trance and find different stations.

I stream live mixes sometimes, but that's every other weekend or so.
