[icecast] Re: opening http://194.109.227.136:8000 in the browser
I thought somewhere buried deep in the icecast.conf that one can turn this option on, if you type in http://194.109.227136:8000 in your browser, it will fire up your favourite mp3 client, and the stream will start playing. *duh*, sorry, I haven't set this up yet. I'm still amazed my stream in working, I still need to tweak it. A while back, from the archives, I saw someone had offered his sample icecast.conf for all to look at. Sadly, it appears that the site, www.njfr.org, is still down. Does anyone else have a working icecast.conf? cheers, b.

That URL needs to be opened as a location in your MP3 player (e.g. ctrl-L in winamp). If you want to click on a link in a web browser, you will need to make a PLS or M3U file with the location data in it so that this is downloaded and opened by your player.

I can't find any information about these file types on Icecast or shoutcast's web sites. Where can I find information about their structure?
