Title: Shoutcast takeover, When?
Post by: asapcpu on February 12, 2014, 05:10:59 pm: Has anyone heard anything about shoutcast coming out under the new ownership? I am still struggling with shoutcast v2 streams restarting every 12 hours and it would be nice to get some form of light at the end of the tunnel. Right now I have to recreate accounts for people as they get reported to me.
Also the keys are still a need for the auto dj servers. Has anyone heard from them or even found any info on this in forums anywhere? I have not seen or heard anything since they were sold.

Post by: kahfluie on February 13, 2014, 06:23:28 pm: Dual Processor Quad Core Xeon 5450 - 3.00GHz servers...... we use Softlayer. We used to use Dreamhost, but that relationship didn't last long at all. Not saying they are the problem, but I lump them together with companies like FDC and Burstnet among others. Just companies to stay away from when it comes to streaming media (at least for us).

Post by: Dr Bunsen on February 14, 2014, 04:38:17 am: My bad. I missed that. Last I read in december DrO over on winamp forums was saying it was a rumour.

What's the thinking on how this affects existing shoutcast station owners? And do we have new promotion option over on radionomy?

Post by: DrO on February 17, 2014, 07:44:46 am: what seems to have been misunderstood from my old posting is that i was saying that the closing of SHOUTcast was a rumour as that was true as only Winamp had been mentioned as being shutdown, not SHOUTcast (despite the 1+1=3 that was going on with unqualified assumptions - not that it really matters now).

What's your take on everything now the deals is done? And have you been retained by Radionomy?

Post by: DrO on February 19, 2014, 08:57:04 am: my take is that we need to wait and see what happens in the coming months / year (much like i am going to have to do).
