PROJECT STATUS
There are no plans to release a download as I am working on
other projects.
There will also be support for the
BARIX streaming
boxes - more to follow.
Important Information about IP Links
Many audio-over-IP solutions claim to be "reliable" but the real
question of reliability usually factors down to the internet connection/s
you're using. The most reliable and stable IP streaming program is
still going skip, stutter and drop-out if the internet connection is
rubbish - So, if your ISP only provides a 256k/bit upstream, a single
192k/bit MP2/3 stream is about your lot! Other things to consider
are computer speed, CPU load and operating system. Good quality
hardware (especially the sound card) are a must. Yes, computers do
crash and people try to multitask with them - but IP hardware boxes still
lock-up, require firmware upgrades and can be a pain to set-up... Not to
mention some cost too much!
txIP allows you to use the most
efficient audio codec you like the sound of - Additional ACM codecs can be
installed in seconds. You can choose from MPEG Layer2, MPEG Layer3,
OggVorbis or linear PCM if you're running via a local network (or have
LOTS of bandwidth).
