Curious... anyone know of an open-source way to stream WMA to Windows Media Player?
I've been using oddcast/icecast to stream MP3, Ogg, and AAC2, but would like to add WMA capabilities without bowing to the microsoft demons...
Any ideas? :) |

not really, I think Microsoft owns the format, therefore they license any projects which use that...
(it's actually answer to your question, IMHO) |

apparently FFMpeg (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/) can now encode WMA :) I was hoping someone might know of a way to integrate this into a stream
darn microsoft! |

| No real good reason, just would like to be able to cover the format if possible, and curious if anyone has done so without slaving themselves out to Windows Media Server :) |

| I don't think its worth streaming in .wma at all. Windows Media Player plays regular .mp3 streams very well. Unless there is some kind .wma only player, .mp3 should work fine. |

| I wouldn't bother. Just stream it in MP3 for the best compatibility (just about every OS past AS400 will be able to read an MP3 stream SOMEHOW) |
