Hello,
Yes there is a few things you can do.


1) IP:PORT of shoutcast server of choice. (no password needed)
- This will give you player options and what is playing.
- Does not need shoutcast server admin password

Server Name
4 media layers (winamp, quicktime, media player, real player)
Bitrate
Current Song
Users Connected
User Max
Online / Offline status
XML Data Cache


2) IP:PORT and DJ/Admin password of a personal server you / friend hosts.
- Needs Shoutcast server Admin / DJ password

Server Name
Song History
4 media layers (winamp, quicktime, media player, real player)
DJ Name
Bitrate
Current Song
Media Type
Most Ever Connected
Hit Count
Users Connected
Avj. Connect Time
User Max
Online / Offline status
XML Data Cache

============================================
Hosting a shoutcast server is bandwidth intensive.

I have hosted a servers on:
- cable modem
- SDSL
- T1
- Webhost package that allows unlimited bandwidth and SSH to install server.

DJ / Bcast:
- Remotely from any workstation to the server
- Upload MP3's to the server and install a DSP that loops a playlist
