If you stream MP3, users can use a wide range of common players including iTunes and Winamp, or even browser based players. You deliver a m3u playlist which includes the stream and should be handled by some player by default. The only thing that I would suggest is, if it's possible at all, not to stream from the wireless connection as that won't handle enough connections. If your clients are on a wired LAN, put the streaming server there. If the input file is being made on a wireless laptop (for example), export the file to a server using an SMB or NFS share. It's even possible using FTP. Simon -- My CV: http://sites.google.com/site/simongreenwoodscv/ Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/simonfgreenwood Support for unemployed IT professionals:
