I've got a dilema. For months, I've been planning and implementing a large project involving vorbis, ices2, icecast2 and wifi networking. The plan is to stream live audio from 10 Austin nightclubs during the SXSW music festival this March. Well yesterday, it was made plain to me that I must also provide mp3 streams, since "it's an mp3 world." I'm upset about this because I cannot think of an easy or efficient way to provide both formats using my current setup, and going mp3-only really would deflate the newsworthiness of this project. (ok so I'm media-whoring) Any ideas as to how I can offer both Vorbis and mp3 streams with minimal reconfiguration of my existing setup will be greatly appreciated. The setup: At 10 night clubs: 10 old Mac G3s running Gentoo Linux, OpenSSH and Ices2 (from CVS). 10 Wifi access points / antennas. At the 'net end of things: 1 access point / antenna connected to an Apple Xserve running Gentoo Linux and Icecast2 (from CVS), as well as Apache, PHP, and OpenSSL.

But you have to change the source a bit. Search for "x-ogg" in the sources and replace that with "ogg".

You might want to take a look at the darkice live audio streamer. It will simultaneously encode vorbis and mp3 streams from a single audio source and push them to icecast/icecast2. I'd configure it so that the mp3 and ogg streams are pushed to icecast2 and provide identically named mountpoints with .mp3 and .ogg extensions. Gotta love simplicity. http://darkice.sourceforge.net Blake On Mon, 24 Feb 2003 16:06:26 -0600 David Rose <doppler@homebrew.servebeer.com> wrote:> I've got a dilema.

I remember working with a company called clubcastlive.com who were essentially doing the same thing - always wondered what happened to them - I guess as an internet company they went out of business.
