    A friend is starting his own internet radio station with 8kbps stream. Just wondering what format would be best to broadcast in? mp3 or wma?

    AFAIK mp3 and wma arn't streaming formats, ASX and RAM are the only formats i'm aware of

    EDIT:

    Streaming media formats
    There are currently more than a dozen formats for streaming audio over the Web, from widely used formats, such as RealNetworks' RealAudio, streaming MP3, Macromedia's Flash and Director Shockwave, Microsoft's Windows Media, and Apple's QuickTime, to more recent entries that synchronize sounds with events on a web page, such as RealMedia G2 with SMIL and Beatnik's Rich Music Format (RMF). Also included are a host of downloadable formats, including Liquid Audio, MP3, MIDI, WAV, and AU.
