Icecast - Nov 2005 - Register into shoutcast directory

Hello,

Icecast is a great project but there is one big problem left ! We can't 
register into shoutcast directory which is the mosted used radio 
directory in the world. So this realy difficult to find more listeners...
After many search, I was thinking that the only way to get our radio 
into shoutcast directory was to setup a shoutcast relay using our 
icecast server. Unfortunatly it seams not working because shoutcast 
don't get any information from our icecast server (genre, stream url, ...).
Is someone has experimented a such case ?

Thanks

Pascal

2 things.  Shoutcast forbids Icecast servers to be listed on the directory 
and shoutcast can't relay a icecast feed.  BUT icecast can relay a shoutcast
feed.
