Advanced users could also use a mixer and add a microphone, maybe 2 computers one for the automation system running the music and the second computer to run the commercials.

Terrestrial FM Radio Stations could use a dedicated hardware solution such as a Barix Instreamer 100. Barix Instreamer 100 is a Standalone IP Audio Encoder Device. That way Barix act like an encoder, receiving the audio and send it to our servers without having a computer encoding the audio.

Yes, you can. Of course, not at the same time.

You will be able to stream from different computers or locations but not at the same time. What mean is in order to another DJ have access to stream his live streaming you will need to stop your live streaming to leave the connection open for another live feed.

If you plan on stream live audio, then yes. For as long as you want the server to be broadcasting, you will need to provide the audio live for it to broadcast.

However our Auto DJ doesn’t require you to connect yourself, as the Auto DJ will connect and stream on your behalf. You will simply need to upload audio in the form of MP3s in the client area and enable the Auto DJ. It will play the MP3s you’ve uploaded and you’ll be free to use your computer as you like. Please see this article: SHOUTcast vs ICEcast?
