P2P-Radio offers a peer-to-peer broadcasting system for both audio and video content.
What makes P2P-Radio stand out is its freeloader detection feature, which detects peers that only listen but don't share the stream with other listeners. Additionally, the software uses a Shoutcast/Icecast Internet radio/TV station as an audio/video source. Communication within the network is very efficient with low overhead.
Users can play the music/video with their media player, such as Winamp, and view the network's structure with a monitor application.
In the latest release, stream signing has been turned off by default to save CPU time, but users can enable it with the "-sign" parameter. P2P-Radio will only cooperate with a monitor if it was started with the "-enablemonitor" parameter. The media player can also be controlled with two parameters: "startmediaplayer" and "dontstartmediaplayer," which start or don't start the media player in broadcasting or listening mode.
Overall, P2P-Radio is a reliable software that provides a unique and efficient broadcasting system that is easy to use and compatible with various operating systems.
