I've been using Shoutcast for years but have noticed a
dramatic decrease in both the number of listeners (excluding
all the bots and spiders), and dependability of service
(connection errors).

Is there a better (free/Mac) alternative?

thanks for any suggestions...    /:b

It doesn’t seem a Shoutcast problem. The amount of pc resources for running it is minimal on the CPU side, and I think the amount of memory needed for each listener is something like 14k.

 

Normally that diagnosis refers to a bandwidth problem (for six listeners at the same time you need around 620kbps in continuum). If you are broadcasting from your home, it depends of your internet connection and ISP. Speed and stability. If you´re running a server, or an online service is doing that for you, the same applies.

 

I’m hearing now the emission, and things seems pretty fine.

there's a cheap mac alternative from rogue amoeba called nicecast and there is an apple product based on quicktime with the name of broadcast or something, just did a quick search and couldn't find it under that name but it's free but didn't look trivial to set up when i looked at it
