Hi,
I think it is pretty good quality for my self made PC boxes out of recycled
pc loud speakers, so keep it just the way it is and spend money on
advertisements, that will give you more hits and higher download rates. 

And what you have now is working pretty well, so why changing something? 
I recall playing with icecast many moons ago. Good stuff, good choice!

Regarding converting I use ffmpeg. You can put a script together to convert
all you have to 64 into a new directory - it makes no sense to burn
CPU/power each time you play something.


thumbs up & regards
