I have mp3s as input and can't convert them all. And since my listeners will ONLY use mp3-streaming I don't want the overhead and quality-loss of converting mp3 to ogg and later stream-transcode them from ogg back to mp3. That's not worth it. So why can't support for mp3 be added to ices2? From a technical point, I mean? Somebody said "It's not and never will be". Any good reason for that? This is the only problem why I'm fiddling around with ices-0.2.3-cvsbuild (and not getting it to work, but thats another story).

Any goodAll transcoding suffers from this. it doesn't matter if you do it before hand converting all your files or trancoding on-the-fly inside something like ices. Nothing is stopping it technically, but it's the non-technical points that are stopping this, there are patents on mp3 that people need to consider, ices2 is a xiph project so producing ogg streams comes before sorting out mp3 and of course some developers have to be interested in producing mp3 streams. There is nothing wrong with having multiple apps talking to icecast2. karl. <p>--- >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.
