SimpleCast 2.5.1

SimpleCast 2.5.1 is a powerful and easy-to-use which takes audio from your line-in, microphone or any audio being played over your sound-card and then encodes this audio in real-time to be streamed over the internet to listeners across the world - all with a single click of a button.

Metadata adaptors allows external applications to send song and captioning data to SimpleCast. (Already has native support for most major automation systems). Gather real-time statistics from all your streaming servers so you know how many listeners are connected at any given time and generates song history logs.
