I really am new to this sorry!!Just add a static file url with your station id to the m3u file before the real stream url. Players will stream the id, and then advance to the live url when it finishes. eg: listen.m3u contains: http://station.co.uk/hello.ogg http://station.co.uk:8000/stream-64.ogg Newer versions of icecast can stream static files on demand, or you can just use your regular webserver to serve the station id file. Hope that helps, -r

This is what my /icecast/web/live.m3u file looks like #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Upper Ottawa Valley Scanner Intro http://scanner.weatherserver.net:80/scannerintro.mp3 #EXTINF:-1,Upper Ottawa Valley Scanner http://scanner.weatherserver.net:80/live so when someone goes to http://scanner.weatherserver.net/live.m3u they get the intro and then the live feed I hope it helps you some. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DSA Lea, Engineering 04" <dl4708@bristol.ac.uk> To: <> Sent: Monday, November 01, 2004 5:53 PM Subject: Re: [Icecast] Gettin station Ident played on connectiong to stream> Our listeners click on a link which ends in .m3u.

Hi: In addition to anyone connecting directly not hearing the intro, the one big drawback to this approach is that it allows the listener to skip it by advancing to the next track. I've done this myself. I'd also find it useful to have this fascility in the server for use with fallbacks.
