would it be possible to put a chat room with sound so people could play their music live to anybody else in the channel... it would probably lack in quality a bit but it good be a good thing to have. and fun too (maybe even be used in some kind of competition ?)

Well, a high bandwidth server would be needed, of course, if you're going to use some really high resolution audio protocol transmission with a lot of users connected, plus everyone would have to use the same VoIP software. Below are some of the top programs I know of that are used in both general chat and for online gaming... BattleCom GameVoice (this is Battlecom post-Microsoft) ICQPhone MSN Messenger Talking Head Yahoo Messenger Voicechat PalTalk Skype Roger Wilco Speak Freely TeamSound TeamSpeak Ventrilo There are other ways of VoIP and video conferencing, but they could cost a lot. The ones I listed above are mostly free. Anyone who knows of other voice software can always add here. Of course, there's always CB, SWL/DX and the telephone, hehe.

If you like, I set up a TeamSpeak 2 server for a work project. Server address = i4games.net I can set up one for you on MT.org if you like. Yannick

I've used most of the ones listed there, and I must say that ventrilo beats all the others hands-down for multi-people chatting. If it's 1on1 chatting, Skype is better though, and "it works like a normal phone". If you have it and want to try, my username is magnuspalsson and for your information, if you call that user you will connect to Helsingborg, Sweden. Roger Wilco was the first one I tried. Poor quality. BattleCom was much better, but crashed a lot and had other difficulties. GameVoice costs money and is not as configurable as one would like (did i mention it costs money?). ICQPhone no, I havent tried it. I'm using ICQ lite... I Do have MSN Messenger and that voicetalk is okay. TeamSound and TeamSpeak are similar in that they both suck really bad. I have not tried Talking Head Speak Freely Yahoo Messenger Voicechat or PalTalk. In conclusion: Ventrilo is best for many people in the room, and can be configured to use different protocols depending on how much bandwidth you have, resulting in better quality. Skype is the best for 1on1 conversations. Very good quality. Auto-sets quality depending on bandwidth.

Well, it was quick to convince me. Download Ventrilo and join the MadTracker.org server at madtracker.org port 3784. Yannick

cool, looks like I need to tweak my microphone settings for this. I just scared lollie and possibly Mikx when I logged in using ventrilo. My microphone amplified the song Mikx was playing. sorry guys. I'm changing my sound levels now. ---Jesse Moore "Madtracker Scary Microphone Demon" Lollie made this title....

hmm, would need to get me a new mic before joining... the one I have now would probably kill your speakers due to the static distortions it createts each time I move it around (loose connection somewhere, but I haven't been able to locate it )

hey for the record you can also put your recording mixer in volume control and check stereo mixer. it will play whatever comes out of your speakers. kinda useful for playing your tunes.
