I have become much more acutely aware of this since being on dialup, but I have realized that ccMixter is not very dialup friendly. As has been mentioned in the past by Victor, the stream function pretty much is the same as download.

I think a lower bitrate, dialup friendly “actual” stream might increase the amount of ratings and feedback tracks receive. It certainly would help out those of us who would like to stay more involved in the community but have low-bandwidth connections to the internet.

Would it possible for ccMixter to incorporate a streaming system such as Icecast?

Just a thought from a user currently stuck on a low-bandwidth channel to the net.

*meow*

the idea of shoutcast/icecast was tabled because CC servers are being killed just with downloads.

I’m often on the road and forced to use dialup so I understand. We just don’t have the resources (manpower or bandwidth) to mount that as a feature of the site.
