    hello, im a network IT for a radio station. my boss is thinking of broadcasting online. we are going to broadcast with songs at 96Kbps. i'd like to know if there is a limit to the number of listeners based on the bandwidth of our internet connection. if there is, how do i calculate the max number of listerners based on the bandwidth? lets say, on a 1Mbps line, with songs at 96Kbps, how many people can listen simultaniosly? (in case there is a limitation)
    thanks

    I'd first make sure you're legally authorized to broadcast music over the internet.
    SHOUTcast in my experience is the easiest streamer to set up.
