Does anyone know of a decent webcasting system (like Live365 or Shoutcast) that operates without a proprietary download? I’d like to listen to some variety of music at work but we’re not allowed to download any programs off the internet. I’ve gotten individual real-world radio stations with webcasts to work, but there are way too many commercials and “stupid DJ tricks”.
