Publisher's Description
From NCH Software:
BroadWave is an audio streaming server. It is designed to broadcast any audio connected to the sound input on the PC and recordings that are loaded as WAV, MP3, WMA, AIFF and many other formats.
BroadWave handles the audio stream compression, player format negotiation, bandwidth adjustment and serving over the Internet. Listeners do not need to install any special software to listen to a BroadWave webcast. Streams will play directly from the default web browser on any modern Windows, Mac or Linux computer.
Up to 8 different live streams can be served from the single PC by installing additional sound devices (eg. USB sound) and can be recorded and saved as a wav file by the broadcaster. An unlimited number of 'static' recordings can be served and can be streamed as a playlist. BroadWave displays the number of users connected to your streams while a super efficient, optimized server design means that, with bandwidth, up to 500 simultaneous connections can be served.

"Been using this software for a while."
Version: BroadWave Streaming Audio Server 1.14
Pros
Very stable, easy to use. I have been using it to broadcast my online scanner for sometime now.
Cons
May not have some of the features other more expensive platforms have but it is very good for the price. Customer support is great.
Summary
I think of this software more as a utility. It does a great job of getting audio out onto the net. Keeping this in mind if you are wanting to put together an online radio station you may want more flexibility with the music library. I personally have not used this side of it much going more for live audio feeds (scanners, radios).

"This Streaming Audio Server Program Rocks be on bellief"
Version: BroadWave Streaming Audio Server 1.14
Pros
It does all the work for you, in audio files mode it streams, manually created playlists with ease and even has a loop feature for constant play. Plus one nice feature is the ability to start on contact by a listener
Cons
It would be 6 stars if it had one feature.....the ability to rearrange the audio files in a more random order without going thru the trouble of always having a playlist
Summary
Excellent product for online radio broadcasting

"nice but ehh..."
Version: BroadWave Streaming Audio Server 1.02
Pros
Stream live, easy to use, new-broadcaster friendly, No ads played live, set up a playlist of any music files
Cons
have to pick between pre-recorded or live, sometimes scratchy, not much features, have to purchase support, banner ad in Win. Media player
Summary
It was easy to use, but eventually I got tired of it... it will make you want to pay about 300$ for SAM Broadcaster ; )
But nice feature for first-time broadcasters that don't want to pay to broadcast! -

"Spyware (wish I could give less than 1 star)"
Version: BroadWave Streaming Audio Server 1.01
Cons
Installed and had a bunch of windows pop up on the screen. Closed them, went to programs. What I found there was a bunch of links (about 30) to different programs, including telephony services. There was no warning or option to opt out from the installation. Removing the software (using Add or Remove Programs) removed only the core software leaving the rest of that garbage behind and had to be deleted manually.

"Broadwave is FREE!"
Version: BroadWave Streaming Audio Server 1
Pros
Contrary to what others may have you believe, Broadwave is free. The only requirement is each page that has a link to your stream also needs to include a link to the developers website. If you dont want to do this, you can purchase the professional version which allows you to also customise the banner inside the media player. Broadwave is a great app. that I would recommend to anyone.
Cons
Cant think of a thing!
