Audio Streaming questions.

Ok for you experts that are currently running live Audio Streams I could really use some help here.

I've been asked to start a stream for a friends Island and DJ for him and I'm not going to lie I'm a little lost. I have Dj experience but always worked for someone else now I'm about to launch my own stream and not sure where to being.

So if you could answer these questions I'll owe you big!

1. I'm looking at different streaming hosting companies I'll need for bandwidth. Generally you figure out the best plan by figuring what your listener count will be. Being people come in go in your parcel how many listeners do you average a month?

2. How much bandwidth should I purchase per month? I want to run live audio 24/7

3. Who are you going through please email that answer to [email]brian_kj30@charter.net[/email]

4. When someone comes on your parcel does that mean boom they'll show up on your SAM3 broadcaster?

Any other tips would be greatly appreciate it. I'm not looking to steal anyones listeners, just don't know where to begin. Since joining SL everyone has been so helpful I hope it's the same here.

Thanks so much for your time.
