Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

For the most part, last night's test was a success. The server was up for about 1.75 hours and I was able to come up with a decent play list.
The only real issues I ran into were minor, but funny (upping the encoder bit-rate while Winamp is still playing makes funny noises!). The only issue that was annoying and could not be resolved was with VLC; It will not display the stream title if I keep the Æ character in the stream title and, instead, just gives the URL for the stream. (Winamp does not have this issue and I will be testing Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player (and maybe even XMMS) tonight. Probably again around 20:30 PST.
In all, I had fun with this, and am looking forward to getting past the testing stages and going live.
