Icecast always(1) gets it's input from a socket, generally via some 'source' program like ices, liveice, shout, etc. Now, as for which source you want, that depends on how you are streaming. If you are streaming from playlists or files, ices i swhat you want. Grab 0.2.2 and lame(2), and you're all set. Liveice is primarily for live encoding applications, for instance, broadcasting a concert in realtime. It's not the easiest tool to use either, so I suggest sticking with ices unless you absolutely need live encoding. Hope this helps, jack. (1) unless of course you are doing on-demand streaming with icecast's built in /file/ stuff. this is probably not what you meant though :) (2) you need lame only if you're reencoding files on the fly. otherwise just ices will do. --- >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.

Alright , once again, thank you for all the help , it has been interesting. I got ices to work successfully , except for using lame.h , i for the life of me , can not get it to include it , no matter what version ( i have tried from 3.66 to 3.70 ) and can not get it to include it. ( heh i started using 2.* series and have not figured out it is not included :P. The other issue i find i hear about liblame , hense i can not find it anywhere. when ./configure --with-lame-includes=/usr/include/lame , the lame.h is there as with most of the versions above 3.66 hense it will not include it if it life depends on it ( or mine ) I tried streaming with out lame and it is choppy as all hell, so i am guessing that lame is more then required to get a nice clear stream. Any help from the excellent guru's that have already been so kind , would be much appreciated. Pointers to the correct lame and ices would be pretty sweet too :P Thanks once again.
