[BC] Equipment Question

[Bernie Courtney]

If both locations have high speed Internet access look into Apple's
Quicktime broadcaster (its a free download)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/  its got built in AAC encoding
capability- the only down side is that the encoder product will only run on
a mac, but you might luck out and this DJ might have a mac or powerbook
already.  You can receive the stream on any computer, windows or mac,
running the quicktime player.

some other products that would work in varying capacities

shoutcast w/ aac plugin --

to be fair Orban has a packaged bundle of AAC encoder software, etc that is
plug and play for shoutcast, but that would require money, which it sounds
like is tight in your situation.
