Hi everyone, I'm new to icecast and would like to know if it is possible to play a static file before a stream. I would very much like to accomplish this from icecast rather than a playlist, as the playlist can be bypassed. Is it possible to direct icecast to play mountpoints sequentially? My initial thoughts were to create 2 mountpoints, 1 for the static file and 1 for the stream, then have icecast play them. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Jeff

This iis a feature I'd like to see too. Geoff.

Note that the same considerations that apply to fallback mounts also apply to intro files, ie same compression format and the audio (for various players) would be better to keep to the same samplerate and channels.
