Hello. I understand that ices 0.3 is capable of streaming mp3 to an Icecast 2 server, and that ices 2 is capable of streaming ogg to an Icecast 2 server, but what I'm really after is a single version of ices that can stream mp3 and ogg to an Icecast 2 server. Does such a thing exist? Currently 90% of my audio files are mp3, but I am starting to use ogg instead for new files. However as it looks like I can't have both ogg and mp3 in an ices playlist, I am forced to go with mp3 as thats what the majority of my existing content is. Any suggestions appreciated! I am not averse to getting my hands dirty and taking the mp3-handling stuff from ices 0.3 and trying to fit it into ices 2, if that may be reasonably possible? thankyou Richard --- >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.

So your input playlist can have a mix, but the output will be only MP3. This was added to ices precisely to smooth the transition from MP3 to Ogg. --- >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.
