If you're a music lover and want to share your collection with listeners across the world, you'll need an audio streaming server. Configuring and maintaining such server may sound a daunting task, but with Vibe Streamer, you can easily host your own MP3 streaming server and that too for free without any need to do complex configuration or coding. All you need is a normal home PC with ample storage and a fast broadband connection.

Although 'Vibe Streamer' runs on Windows platform, you can make it run on Linux through Wine software. It's lightweight and consumes very limited system resources that ensure you can use a general computer system as your server. With Vibe Streamer, there's no limit on the number of files and directories you can share with subscribers.

You can create groups and users with different access levels that gives you complete control over what to share with whom. Vibe streamer supports all popular browsers and have in-built SSL support for secure and encrypted data transfer. A scripting language and support for UPnP gives you the power to create flexible routing and rule based streaming giving a rich experience to the listeners.

With dozens of cool skins and capability to design your own skin gives it a vibrant look. I've tested this server on a Unbuntu and XP box with 1 GB RAM + 1 Mbps broadband and it was running smooth with no hassle for up to 1 week with 345 subscribers.
