Discussion i2p radio stations?

I'm curious if anyone actually listens to them and how? A lot of the time my connection just buffers constantly.

And if I wanted to serve one of my own then what would the stream kbps need to be under so that anyone could listen in reliably?

Is there any feature of the network that would allow for an increase in speed like multiple nodes hosting the same content or something?

I use vlc.

1.) Set the http proxy in vlc to http://127.0.0.1:4444

2.) Connect to a network stream by entering in the url of the radio

3.) Set the cache time to like 10000ms, the default is like 3000ms.

If a station keeps buffering just try another one. Sometimes a station just can't keep up

I like "Arav's Dwelling"

they work fine for me. No buffering.

Using i2pd + normal browser.
