Hello! I'm extremely new at this so don't hurt me. I want to stream CD content from my RedHat 9 box using icecast? What is the best way to do this? I'm getting confused with all the different pieces and configurations. Is there a simple guide that discusses what I want to do? thanks! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Winamp3 is broken according to some posts here. Try Winamp 2.91 or the latest XMMS. Of course, XMMS requires the xmms-mp3 libraries. Try that and see if it helps.

Hi: Since icecast2 is still heading to an initial release, there's no official guide for this stuff, but there is a bit of stuff out there. First, lets clarify what you want to do. When you say "CD content", I assume you mean audio CD's. To provide a stream requires two parts - a source or streamer, and a server. The source is equivalent to a radio studio, the server is equivalent to the radio transmitter. These can either run on the same machine or on seperate ones. the machine that runs the server is the one that needs the required bandwidth to serve all the listeners you want to accommodate. Icecast is the server software. The source software will depend on what format you want to stream - MP3 or Ogg Vorbis. Ices2 will do Ogg Vorbis and can input from the soundcard (requires libshout). Other Linux source clients that come to mind are Darkice (does MP3 and Ogg Vorbis) and the Oddcast plugin for XMMS (also does both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis). I'm sure there are others I'm overlooking. Kerry cox has written a rather comprehensive-looking unofficial howto which you can read at http://quasi.ksl.com/icecast/ Let me know if you have any further questions.

If you are interested in using icecast1, which I also run concurrently with icecast2 for streaming KSL audio content, there is an older HowTo at the following address: http://quasi.ksl.com/icecast/legacy/ Looks like it is in Star Office/Open Office format. If you need it changed to a PDF file, I can do that pretty quicklu. Hope that helps.

Thanks, all, for the pointers. I think I have everything configured properly, but, something is obviously still wrong. I'm using Kerry's guide with these xml files: - Sample icecast.xml - Configuration for Streaming Live Audio I started icecast & ices as directed. I then started xmms and configured the output plugin to be the OSS driver. I'm playing a music cd. This is all on my linux box. On my windows box, using WinAmp 3, I play location "http://linuxhost:8000/radiofree.ogg.m3u". The admin site indicates one person is connected. However, all winamp does, over & over, is cycle between "PREBUFFERING DONE." & "1. RADIOFREE.OGG". Back and forth...no music. Any thots?

I think I'm going to take a slightly different approach and try to get a static playlist to work. I do have several questions concerning this. Most importantly, where do I put the playlist.txt file so ices can find it? Also, will ices stream both mp3 & ogg files? Is either better than the other? thanks a million! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi: You can put the playlist file wherever you want it, as long as the ices process can read it. You just specify it in the config file. Ices 2.x can only read and output ogg vorbis. Ices 0.3 can read both MP3 and Ogg, but can only output MP3.
