I have looked, I swear, but there seems to be very little easily findable info on the subject. Like how? Do I need to get my own host, establish a shoutcast radio station, and then find people who let me dj their parties? And if so, does each person listening on a property count as a listener or does the SL program count as one and then transmit to the individual players? Then where can I find some good tools that let me mix stuff. I have winamp and the shoutcast plugin and DNA. But I'm still lost on how to even get started. A little help and advice? Am I going to to much trouble or not enough? I really want to learn about how to do this I'm just having trouble getting started. Thanks

Each listener counts as a listener.

If you are forming your own station than you need a server - a computer with a shoutcast, icecast etc server. This is normally something you pay for - not your normal desktop computer.

To broadcast to the server you need software such as the winamp plugin or Spacial Audio's SAM.

cool, thanks, and then when I dj then wherever I am they just link their dj station to my stream and that's it?
