Hey gang while I was tinkering around the web and looking at Live365 and Loudcaster through Google a site came up called Krykey Personal Radio. I checked them out and they seem to have a lot of stations that stream through them... I have never heard of them before and to be honest the "Almost Sounds To Good To Be True" instinct started to kick in. Has anybody ever used them before and are they legit? Are they Sound Exchange Friendly meaning that they are getting paid? Judging by the fact they say they are totally free I am guessing that either they insert a lot of ads which could be a turnoff for some... They say unlimited listeners which was another red flag for me, but I am really curious... Is it compatiable with SAM Broadcaster? Have a good day and thanks for any responses... CC1

The royalties part is what I want to know about, but I to have sent an email and yet to have a response back from them... After having issues with SWcast I am very nervous about the whole streaming thing, but like I say Krykey is almost too good to be true... Thanks for the help... CC
