hi everybody. I am involved in a Internet Radio Station in Bristol UK. We are using a icecast 2 server and are trying to work out what to use to upstream. Currently we are using darkice which seems to work well. However it does not support playlists. I have looked at muse-streamer but it is currently far to unstable. Therefore ices or ezstream seem to be the option. From what I can gather mp3/lame is not very well supported in ices2 (if atall) therefor ezstream seems the one to go for. It is at a very low version. Have people had success with it. Also what is its relationship with ices2 (i.e. pro/cons). Is it being developed as an alternative?

It's also much, much less featureful. ezstream supports some formats that ices2 doesn't, though. It also runs on some platforms that ices2 doesn't (notably windows). If you really need mp3, you might also consider ices0, which, despite the similar name and low version number, is a seperate program from ices2, and is very stable and usable. Mike

Also can it do 2 streams at once in the way darkice can? Has anyone done any documentation how-tos for it apart what is on the page at http://www.icecast.org/ezstream.php. I cant quite work out where the re-encode stuff fits in.
