Using Stickam for streaming radio

G

I've just signed up with stickam. I was trying them out today, and the audio sounds pretty good, so far.

The only problem I'm having is, I cannot stream in stereo, only in mono. I heard several other stickam sites streaming in stereo, so I know it can be done.

I looked all over their site for some help on this topic, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to stream in stereo using this site?
 
I was considering them for b-casting my upcoming show, but after reading the TOS and talking to others, they seem kinda cocky. They cancel accounts for no reason and without warning. If they do this to you, they won't even tell you why.
I suggest Kyte or even Ustream. If you're just going for audio, you might wanna try live365 or shoutcast, though I've used Ustream just for the embedding and chat features.
 
My big question was how to stay legal with Stickam. There is no visible way to stream artist/song/album metadata in their streams. I would be able to go with a technology that allows me to remain compliant to DMCA.
 
Thanks for your replies Bill and unpwn. I've decided to use a program called "Streamer p2p radio". It's much better than stickam and I can get quality stereo streaming plus song data. I'm doing some beta testing right now as I type this.
 
I think streaming with a visual adjunct would be a great idea but there needs to be a way to divorce the audio so the audio stream can stay compliant while allowing the video aspect on web sites and players which allow video integration.
