1) Is it possible when using the mp3 steam not to have the ( data ) in the tag line like you can do with ogg 2) Can the meta-tag-refresh tag which is in the 2.0KH58 be put in the new 2.2.0 version.

Helo, fellows, Although I have researched a lot about this matter I still didn't find any good solution. The problem with Icecast OGG system is that common people doesn't want to download any other software in order to listen to a radio station, even a plugin... People doesn't like to have to download Quicktime, nor Winamp. They already have Windows Media Player on their computers, so they already listen to LAUNCHCAST for instance... I agree that Ogg files quality have no comparison with the old Mp3. Ogg mono files at 32k - 44.1khz is very near CD quality. I would become a satisfied listener with radios at 32k -44.1khz. The problem is making Windows media Player to play it! And this may not have any solution. I got to solve this problem on Shoutcast systems which broadcast in MP3. I got to make WMP play the MP3 stream very easy, without a listener having to download anything. If people want to know how, I suggest looking my website: www.portaldojazz.com I have Icecast streams also, which have much more quality, but I can see, I have 10 listeners of MP3-WMP, while having 1 Icecast listener, and I guess the only explanation to this is that people listen to it with WMP.

But that's not the whole story. Microsoft only supports MP3 because so many people listen to mp3 radio stations and files. And before Window Media Player played MP3, everyone had winamp installed because the nearest teenager (if I may) had installed it as a way to listen to cool--or at least free--music. So, the more content is available in ogg, and the more good and popular content that is available *only* in ogg, the more people will install the players, and the more vendors will ship support so their customers won't have to.> The problem is making Windows media Player to play it! > And this may not have any solution.There are plugins at http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/ you might give those a try. Hopefully once they're stablized we can finally get on the autodownload program and all this will go away. Although people tell me it doesn't actually work. -r
This is a player that I use on my site. It works well with Ogg and mp3. I have tested it with windoze, Fedora, and Netscape/SunOS. http://www.javazoom.net/jlgui/jlgui.html Cheers!
