Online Radio
Just a few questions if anyone knows about it..
- How do royalties work? Say I have a CD and I play two tracks from it: can I, and who do I pay royalties to, if any? I haven't been able to find any good documentation.
- Should I just use ShoutCast?
- How do places like di.fm offer different bitrates? Can software cap it, or do they have multiple copies of each song?
- Where are good places to host audio streaming? I've been looking around but can't seem to find anywhere with an affordable pricing scheme that also supports it.. [I'll be paying out of my pocket for now]

Royalties.. You should ask a lawyer about that.

Thanks Mike.. I already know that I'll need a VPS or better, but was wondering if any hosts specialized in it.

While there are plenty of companies specialized in streaming, installing/running shoutcast is fairly easy for a mid-size radio stream.

Go to the Offers Section and see offers for 10Mbps unmetered. These days you can get them from anywhere from $80/month to $200/month.
You can indeed have multiple (dial-up and broadband streams) running on this server.
