It says here there hasn't been much interest in handling mp3 with ices2: http://www.icecast.org/files/ices_docs/faq.html I just wanted to mention that I'm interested in doing so. I use ices for a web-based jukebox project called Tunez. I have tried the other suggested icecast streamers and have had major problems with both of them (muse and liveice). It would be really cool if the ices developers merged MP3 playback support back into the new stream of Ices that way MP3's and OGG's could be part of the same stream. As it is now it would be a major hack to support both formats (which leads me to aim towards supporting the old ices 0.3 code which works with MP3). Ogg vorbis support is great and all but I with the Icecast people would realize how many people still use MP3, especially in a streaming environment. I'm glad Icecast 2.0 supports both and I'm hoping that the Ices team decides to support both as well. <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.

Mixed format in the _source_ files would, of course, be possible - the source client would have to transcode them all to the same format. ices2 is unlikely to ever support mp3 - one day, it might _optionally_ support reading mp3, but streaming as ogg (transcoding, obviously), but even that isn't particularly likely unless someone else decides to implement it. ices 0.3 works fine - just use it!

So unless someone is prepared to write the code, you can probably forget it. Note that you could probably achieve the same by using the stdinpcm module and a third-party decoder. In some ways this is better because ices2 developers would otherwise have to worry about the whole issue of licensing an MP3 decoder.

Yeah :P the same wish here. My vote-based radio uses ices0.3 just because the lack of mp3 support of the new ices. So inform us of any decision or progress has been made.

don't forget about streamTranscoder . it works well ., i actually have all ogg archives , and when one is played , i have scripts to auto-transcode an mp3 compatible stream for those who are not in the know . (http://theDV8network.com for examples ) and http://transcoder.sourceforge.net for a link to the transcoder site ( i think ) a. <p><p>On Tue, 20 Jan 2004, Josephus wrote:> Yeah :P the same wish here.
