What is Shoutcast?

Shoutcast stream hosting is also used to broadcast events or audio tutorials to several people at once or even on demand.

It comes with built in MP3, mp3PRO, WM9 and Ogg encoders that can stream to SwiftLayer and all the other major servers, in multiple formats and even multiple bitrates at the same time.
