If you want to embed your stream on your own web page... stream to Shoutcast and RR. It's the best of both worlds.

If you're running Oddcast... just click on "add encoder" and set it up for a Shoutcast stream. Then run an instance of sc_serv and your stream will appear on Shoutcast... and RR. From there... you can get an IP to embed your stream on your own web site using something like Windows Media Player. Mine is http://69.138.112.172:8090/ Yours will simply be your IP address plus the stream port.

Then you can get that warm fuzzy feeling twice as much! This is a "win win" situation?! :-)
I'm not savvy enough with Shoutcast to even attempt this. I was previously using Windows Media Encoder and streaming it directly to the site with the IP/port as you have, but I see the same issues of the number of listeners being limited to 20 that I had before, which was one of the reasons I put it here. I see this inability to embed as a major problem, one large enough that I may just take everything offline.
