What is Live Broadcasting: Windows Media Server?
The Windows Media server supports the live broadcasting of Windows Media Audio and Video and can be played by a Windows Media Player which is already installed on most Windows operating systems.

Combined with the encoding abilities of the Windows Media format you can now synchronize song information and advertisements with the audio/video content.
What is the Bitrate?
The Bitrate explains how much a song or video is compressed. The more it is compressed, the lower the bitrate, and the lower the quality. Bitrate actually means how many bits (size taken up on your computer) are taken up per second of music or video. 128 kbps is commonly referred to as CD quality. 96kbps is commonly considered the lowest bitrate for quality Internet radio. 300kbps is commonly recommended for HDTV quality. 128kbps is commonly considered the lowest bitrate for quality Internet TV.

What are the differences between the streaming applications?
What is the difference between Live, On-demand and DualCast streaming? A live Streaming server is a way for you to put on a live show, to mix your music, add your voice, throw in sound FX and be the ultimate DJ right from your own PC. On-Demand Servers allow you to upload your music or video playlist for your listeners and viewers to connect to and listen, this does not allow on the fly mixing but it does allow you to shut your computer off at night and let us keep your streaming service up and running. With on-Demand streaming you upload the music you want us to play. Once you upload your music the fun is in our hands. From then on we will stream the music to your listeners without you having to lift a finger, all automatically. DualCast streaming combines the on the fly radio personality and still allows you to turn your computer off at night. While in the live mode you can be streaming and talking and running your show, when you’re ready to hand it over to us we take over and stream from your personal library of music. DualCast Streaming is the best of both worlds. Using our easy to use control panel you can switch between On-Demand and Live streaming as easy as pushing a button. The best of both worlds in one easy to use system.
