Software to stream live audio from a Windows PC

BroadWave is an audio streaming server. It is designed to broadcast any audio connected to the sound input on the PC. It will also stream recordings that are loaded as wav, mp3, wma, aiff and many other formats.

BroadWave handles the audio stream compression, player format negotiation, bandwidth adjustment and serving over the Internet. Listeners do not need to install any special software to listen to a BroadWave webcast. BroadWave streams will play directly from the default web browser on any modern Windows, Mac or Linux computer.

If you do not want to have a link you can buy BroadWave Professional. The professional version does not require a link back and allows you to customize the play banner.
