great I changed it back and now the problem persists. Now the stream is totally wasted. This is getting on my nerves! Does anyone have icecast.conf (perhaps also a liveice.cfg) that works for them streaming mp3's with a playlist? I would like to see them and compare to mine that have just gone to hell...

I do use metadate since i need people to see the titles. I use livecast in mixer mode. The chopping starts right away I don't use VBR (I commented it out at least). The mp3's are made with XING audiocatalyst (for windows) so I don't really know. Sorry.

The audio is encoded in 32kbps and I have a 512kbps/512kbps connection, so it should be enough to stream several connections at once. It sounds just like when a cd gets dirty or scracthed on the back. Anyway, it seems to go away if you can endure the terrible sound for a while, or you restart winamp. F. ex. suddenly it would work on 1 client and then I try another client which then has the same problem. Irritating. What can I do to make it work from the beginning? > > --- >8 ---- > List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ > icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ > To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' > containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Turn off metadata and see if the problem goes away. Just for grins. metadata should work fine. I tested jwz's 1.3.10 server yesterday. jack.> I do use metadate since i need people to see the titles. > I use livecast in mixer mode. > The chopping starts right away > I don't use VBR (I commented it out at least).

I tested jwz's 1.3.10 server yesterday.metadata doesn't work fine.. it works for longer periods than it did before.. but if I have it on, it invariably starts goofing up the stream and I get a sound somewhat like a train wreck out of my speakers. I had to switch back to sc because of this.. email complaints about not having song titles show up in players, and then.. well.. you can imagine the complaints about the out of sync noises.

I just found out something weird about this. In realplayer it doesn't chop as much, but is does shut the entire stream off all the time (every 45 seconds or so). Weird. I tried disabling metadata and everything got REALLY messed up. Chopped audio to a point where a song 4.5 minutes long takes 1.5 minutes. What to do?
