Okay... I realize this has probably been asked dozens of times, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer after googling and archive scanning. What I'm looking to do is simply relay one stream (In this case, a Shoutcast stream), re-encode it at a lower bitrate, and then re-broadcast it at this lower bitrate. Obviously for purposes of providing a dialup stream. At this time, I don't have access to the system that provides the source for the stream, so I need to pull the relay and do the re-encode locally. Is ices able to do this? Or perhaps any of the other related tools? I've found various Perl scripts to re-encode using different tools (wget/curl to pull, lame to re-encode, then pushing to the source), but I would prefer to use an "official" method if such a thing exists. --- >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.

I got it working with streamTranscoder! Thank you very much! Should something to this effect perhaps be added in the official documentation/FAQ? I would think this may be a widely appreciately, yet not widely known tool...
