Hey,
Would it be possible to get guest access to your SS server with the artist and
track name of a file that will be coming through the pipe as ogg? If so, you
can send the information to the email listed in the About page of the gadget.
Also, are you planning on running the gadget on the same network as your server
or over the internet? I have no experience with ogg or flac but they can get
pretty large, correct?
Thanks

Hey,
I have created a guest account for you, with the sub-domain name as well, the
details are sent to the mail address you mentioned.
The Gadget is intended to work over the internet.
FLAC and Ogg can be large files but bandwidth is not an issue for me since I
will be using this at my office which has high speed internet.
To be honest, my upload at home is fast enough for full FLAC which is usually
averaging at 0.5-1MB while my upstream is 1MB.
Unfortunately, I read that FLAC cannot be streamed natively over Http protocol,
hence why choosing Ogg, which can and also provide higher quality than MP3.
Ogg at its highest quality preset can go up to 500Kbps.
Both FLAC and Ogg are VBR formats by default so the bitrate varies.
I will take the liberty to thank you a lot for the great gadget you have
created, the super quick response on this and the willing to enhance your tool.

No problem - just glad to know that the gadget is useful.
Sadly I don't have high hopes for getting Ogg to work with the gadget
[unfortunately] - the limitation is that the gadget is using an embedded
Windows Media Player to play the files. So it works great for [most] mp3 files
but anything else and it doesn't do very well. I tested the stream in the full
WMP after installing the filters from here:
http://www.vorbis.com/setup_windows/ but it never would stream. Have you ever
tried or been able to play Ogg files in WMP?
