I have been using Nicecast to stream our community and student radio station now since May 2009 and the only time i have to relaunch it was after a system update! This app makes a very pleasing 128kps bitrate mp3 sound that is clean, and reliable. With the processing options, our listeners have already noticed a difference in the sound quality of the station output.

We also use it with Audio Hijack Pro to archive and schedule repeating.

I would recommend this to anyone wanting to start streaming audio in mp3 format. (ACC is apparently being looked at!) Download it, buy it and use it straight away and notice the difference! You can hear us using it to stream to mixstream for broadcast at:

at 128kps (from a back up 96kps ACC file currently, running off MacPro - whilst using for other things!) and live from Sept 09.

PS. I DO NOT work for and neither am i sponsored by rogueamoeba!!! lol.
