QUESTION:
What would be the best bitrate to use for my stream?

ANSWER:
This is a personal preference. 128 kb/s is the standard for CD quality audio on your stream. If you want the best possible sound you can start at 128k and go from there. If you are doing only voice the recommended minimum would be 64kb/s. Feel free to use our support system to have one of our highly trained and knowledgable support staff help you decide the best bitrate for you.

QUESTION:
What is the difference between Live, On-demand and DualCast streaming?

ANSWER:
A live Streaming server is a way for you to put on a live show, to mix your music, add your voice, throw in sound FX and be the ultimate DJ right from your own PC. On-Demand Servers allow you to upload your music play list for your listeners to connect to and listen, this does not allow on the fly mixing but it does allow you to shut your computer off at night and let us here at Spacial Net keep your streaming service up and running. DualCast streaming is a new type of streaming debuting here at Itrackradio. It combines the on the fly radio personality and still allows you to turn your computer off at night. While in the live mode you can be streaming and talking and running your show, when your ready to hand it over to us we take over and stream from your personal library of music. The best of both worlds in one easy to use system.

QUESTION:
How does Live streaming work?

ANSWER:
With our live streaming service you are supplying a live stream to our server that we then send out to your listeners. This is a live event just like standard FM radio.

QUESTION:
How does On-demand streaming work?

ANSWER:
With on-Demand streaming you upload the music you want us to play. Once you upload your music the fun is in our hands. From then on we will stream the music to your listeners without you having to lift a finger, all automatically.

QUESTION:
How does DualCast streaming work?

ANSWER:
DualCast Streaming is the best of both worlds. Using our easy to use control panel you can switch between On-Demand and Live streaming as easy as pushing a button.

QUESTION:
What streaming service is right for me? Live, On-demand or DualCast?

ANSWER:
That’s a very good question, and to answer that I need to ask you a couple of questions.

1. Do you plan to be live on the air 24 hours a day, or have DJ\’s live on the air 24 hours a day. If you do then a Live account is the one for you! Now get crackin.

2. Do you plan to be the only one on the air, you want to do live but you know you cant keep your computer on 24 hours a day?

If this is you then DualCast is the way to go. It allows you to be live when you want, and when your done for the day or to tired to go on then you can switch over to on demand using our easy to use control panel and be ready to hit the hay in less then 2 minutes.

3. Do you just want to upload your music, and have us take care of the rest, well if thats the case then welcome to On-Demand. With an On-Demand account you simply upload your music to us and we take care of the rest.

We hope this has made your decision a little bit easier.
