  • Hey bro, why would you build a business around reselling a zombie protocol with literally zero future?   :-/
  • Zombie protocol? How so? Are you referring to the staleness of shoutcast's updates? If so, shoutcast was JUST updated.
  • It is most certainly a zombie protocol. That 2.0 update is a mess. And it's still closed source! The only compelling reason to use SC was the old YP. AOL ruined that years ago. Unless Radionomy has a solid plan to not just match but BEAT TuneIn, the directory will continue to be a major fail. You can disagree but it's the hard truth.
  • Icecast than?
