The mp3 streaming is actually pretty good in icecast2, even the metadata enhancements..I've done quite a bit of testing with it, and it's passed all my tests..although my tests were not completely thorough, and additional testing should be done on laggy networks and with large number of users...it at least passes the "good network and small number of users tests"... however, your client support for icecast2 mp3 metadata streaming is a bit limited at this time..I've added support in oddcast (you'll need the latest oddcast at http://www.oddsock.org/tools/dsp_oddcast/dsp_oddcast_01022003.exe) and adding support for other mp3 source clients is pretty simple (if anyone needs the info on how to do mp3 metadata in your source client, let me know and I can provide whatever info you need)... additionally, icecast2 yp is coming along....and if anyone is also interested in doing some testing with that, feel free to download the following win32 version of icecast2 with yp support (http://www.oddsock.org/tools/icecast2/Icecast2_win32_2.0_alpha2_setup.exe)...currently there is only one yp server (feel free to implement your own though) that has been built, and it's just there for testing, but still fairly functional....the win32 setup comes with an icecast.xml which sets the yp directory to my test yp-cgi....for those not running win32 (yeah, I know, most people :) ) you'll have to wait until the code gets committed to CVS, but before that happens, testing needs to be done....If you want to write your own YP server, I've started on a spec here : http://www.oddsock.org/icecast2yp/spec.html.... and the YP front end (the thing that actually shows the listings) can be viewed here : http://www.oddsock.org/icecast2yp/ That's where you'd look to see your server listed.... please let me know if you have any questions/issues/whatever.... oddsock At 02:09 AM 1/12/2003 +1000, you wrote:>Hi: > >Depends what you want.

Hi: Depends what you want. If you plan to stream MP3 then icecast 1.x is tried and tested, but is not undergoing any further development. icecast2 will stream ogg vorbis as well as MP3. The MP3 stuff in icecast2 is new and the metadata support is only available in CVS and I don't know how well that side of things has been tested. I can't speak for MP3 streaming with icecast2, but Vorbis streaming is rock solid in my opinion. You can get an October 10 alpha release from www.xiph.org/~msmith/ or you can get the latest code from the xiph.org CVS repository (visit http://www.xiph.org/cvs.html (module icecast). documentation is almost non-existant for icecast2 so if you hit any trouble, ask here.

There is no solid documentation for icecast2, yet. However, there are some useful docs at the following URL: http://www.6809.org.uk/kja3/ices2-howto.shtml Also, I have made some of my own docs for use at my work at this URL: http://quasi.ksl.com/icecast/ I would be happy to take any requests for improvements to my own docs. What I have details setup of both icecast1 and icecast2 and streaming in both MP3 and Ogg formats. Hope this helps someone.
