Re: Office Mp3 streaming

[Wayne <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hiya!
Just to add another method - If you are already using Winamp - why not
get Shoutcast (by the same people! http://www.shoutcast.com/). Your
winamp then feeds shoutcast (which you could bung on another pc) -
everyone else then tunes their winamp into the shoutcast server.

works for me! (and everyone else that tuned into planetRadio over xmas!)
