I've been thinking, yes not a good thing sometimes. I want to listen to Ogg Vorbis streams. As far as I know there is only the yp directory on Oddsocks website to easily find vorbis streams in one place, but it doesn't reflect the actual number of streams in existance. A carefully worded goggle search turns up quite a few more but it is time consuming to load every website, find the stream link, and find the music is not my taste. Windows Media Player has a large and convenient searchable "Radio Tuner" directory with hundreds of stations. In my opinion what we (the Ogg Vorbis) community needs is a friendly web directory of all stations. It could be either managed by the owner or via automatic submissions. So, I've verbalized an idea but I don't have the time or knowhow to do it myself, so any takers? I'm sure all streamers will want to be listed. I can provide a few links I've collected.

Hi: Surely it would be just easier if everyone used the directory servers listed in the sample icecast.xml file. It sounds like what you're proposing is doing something manually that should be doable automatically. Yeah, I know, getting everyone to list on the same YP server is not going to be trivial, but if a place gets to be known as *the* place to go to find .ogg streams, everyone will want to list there. Anyway, the 2 directory servers I know of can be browsed at http://www.oddsock.org/icecast2yp/ and http://yp.icecast.net .

This way it would be possible to create sites which include e.g. information from both of these directories (or of even more) and provide them in their content. Something like a "WebService" (but without the bloated SOAP-things around :-)). Would that be an idea? If a station is listed in both dirs you can easily detect this. But to know which directory entry is more up2date (e.g. when doing title-updates) it would be good to have a "last touched"-time for each entry in the XML-file. Shouldn't be too hard to implement in the existing directories, right? And maybe someone would set up a "directory colaboration server" that might summarize entries from different yellowpage-directories and submit them alltogether to oddsock's dir (in colaboration with oddsock, for sure - not against his will by brute force!). <p> Stefan --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
