If Fastcast4u doesn't provide one for you, chances are they don't support Windows Media or any other format (And don't want you doing it yourself either). I'd check their TOS or ask them first if I were you. If you don't, you could get shut down.

Cheers :D
 
Ive already switched servers,, Servers are a dime a dozen.. I had to get one that supported other formats cause most my listeners are WMA users.

Seems pretty clear to me. If you get shut down because you decided to BE STUPID & risk a TOS violation by rolling your SHOUTcast feed into a format your host doesn't support.

One other thing, if are not paying royalties to SoundExchange directly (In other words, your host does this for you), YOU CAN SHUT DOWN BY THE RIAA simply by having a link (Or an embedded player) on your website which is in no way officially provided to you by your host (And the Feds are prosecuting such violators under CRIMINAL law nowadays).

Bottom line - If you insist on playing with fire, don't be surprised if you get burned.

Just pointing out some facts & watching your back dude.....

Cheers :D
 
Thank you Liberty 15... I cant tell you how much I appreciate an honest non judgemental answer
