Hi, Firstly, you're not yet subscribed to the list from this address, so some replies might not reach you. This is the second message I've had to approve manually. It's not a good idea to use .m3u extensions for mountpoints, as m3u files have their own meaning and are expected to be text files containing URLs to streams. Winamp at least may choke on such a mountpoint, others may too. And Icecast itself may get confused as evidenced by an earlier thread this month. But apart from that, you have the right idea. You can use the admin pages to move listeners. You may also want to try setting falback-overide to 1 so that when another person connects to your primary mountpoint, your listeners will be pulled forward again to it. Note that for this mountpoint fallback stuff to work with MP3, you'll need to be certain to be using the same sampling rate and number of channels for each stream otherwise players will almost certainly choke.

The same applies to the fallback-mount, you can't fallback to a playlist like that. I suspect you want <mount-name>/first</mount-name> <fallback-mount>/backup</fallback-mount> moving users manually from one mount to another is easy enough, just look at the /admin/stats.xsl page karl.
