If you just want to make ogg files available for download (which includes playing them in your favourite media player), you can use icecast2 by itself. If you want to do playlist-based streaming, you must configure icecast2, then configure ices2 to connect to it. Then you must provide a playlist, which should contain one line per filename, giving the files you wish to stream in the order you wish to stream them. Then you should run icecast2, followed by ices2. Then it'll just sit there quietly (producing output only to the log file(s) by default), and you can connect a player to it (like winamp, or xmms, or ogg123).

Cool. I'll get back on it when I re-awake. I think I'm down to just making the correct configuration entries in the config files. Everything seems to be working and installed properly.

I have ices2 working. How about creating a link on a webpage and then having a person go to it with their browser and clicking on the link and then having the player automatically open the file at the beginning...is this possible? That is how I have set up all the prior icecast servers. The client just clicks the link and the file starts playing from the beginning. http://url:8002/playlist.pls?mount=/file/mit/whoownsresearchandteaching.mp3&file=dummy.pls The above is a typical link that automatically starts either real or winamp depending the browser settings. Is this possible with ogg files? Maybe I just need to know what the link should look like?

If your stream has mountpoint /stream.ogg, then go to http://localhost:8000/stream.ogg.m3u (obviously, replace localhost with your actual hostname, and change the port if required). In a webpage, you can give that URL as a link, your web browser will then launch the player and the player will play the stream.
