Hello, I have stumbled upon your email address in my search for finding an answer to a problem I'm looking into for school. I attend the Univ. of Cincinnati and am working on my Senior Design Capstone project. I am working with a local independent radio station, WOXY, which is interested in updating its streaming radio to Icecast. I have taken this project under my wing and have tried to determine if it's doable. My question is that WOXY would like to have a subscription service to their Icecast server so that they could stream more then 56Kb to their users. However I have been unable to find any documentation for Icecast 2 that says they have user login capability. I see that Icecast 1 does use a flat text file for general user login. Do you know if Icecast 2 is planning anything like this? Do you have any suggestions as to where I can find out this information? I really appreciate your help and look forward to your answer! Thank you very much!

It's something that has been considered in the past, but not actually implemented - the major problem being definining an authentication mechanism sufficiently general to be useful to our users. Perhaps just flat-text files is enough?

At the moment there's no listener login authentication, it's been mentioned before but hasn't been implemented yet. I can have a look at implementing this when I get chance.> Dave St John > (CEO) Mediacast1.com > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "AMY E.
