It’s stable and functional. You need a player capable of handling Vorbis audio streams.

Possibly the easiest way for Windows users to access the stream is to download Winamp. Alternative options may be found here, such as ways of getting Windows Media Player to work with Vorbis.

Then, simply point your player here.

I’m experimenting with streaming Still Audio via SHOUTcast. So far so good. You can listen to the stream by searching for “Still Audio” here, or (for the moment at least) clicking here.

Update: No more SHOUTcast. Only Vorbis for now. You can add the following URL to your stream player (Winamp etc): http://www.stillaudio.com:8000/stillaudio.ogg.m3u
