Requirements
M3W will run on any Windows system since Windows 95.M3W does not need any prerequisites installed. It installs the lame dll, which is the library that applications need to stream MP3. Many Windows streaming encoders require you to install lame separately, which can be a pain. Thankfully M3W takes care of this for you.
You will need however:
- Windows running

- a mountpoint for the streaming server
- the port of the streaming server
