Stream Plans
Prices are in US$.

The cost of streaming is based on the bitrate you wish to stream at, and the maximum number of simultaneous listeners you wish to support.

Note that a limit of say 50 listeners will usually result in several hundred listeners over the course of a day, as different listeners come and go.

Please note that the stream bitrate is not related to the bitrate of your audio files.  For more details, see Which bitrate should I choose?

Demonstration Streams

We have an automated radio station run by our radio automation software StationPlaylist Studio, streaming in 6 different formats / bitrates for demonstration purposes.

It is running a 45 minute repeating playlist with a few songs and voice tracks, plus current time and temperature announcements.  We have set the PC to Paris, France for the time and temperature announcements (in Celsius).

Note: To use Windows Media Player to play the AAC+ streams, you need either Windows 7 (Windows Media Player 12), or install this plugin first.

Other Players below include Winamp, Foobar2000, VLC, XMPlay, Screamer.
