I have a redhat 9 box with darkice installed and a freeBSD 5.3 box running icecast. Both boxes are up and running and the mp3 stream is working great. The only problem i'm having is figuring out a way to link the mp3 stream on my webpage that will allow users to easily click on a link and have their media player open. I can open my media player, go to the open URL dialog and enter my URL, but this is way too complicated for the average user. With a standard .mp3 link most browsers will open the "save" or "open" dialog which is still more complicated than i'd like. Do you have any suggestions, or am I asking in the wrong list?

Mark, use http://url.of-site.tld/icecast_mount_point.m3u Just append .m3u to the mount point that you specified and the browser will interpret the url as an mp3 playlist and play the stream. For example: http://aeicradio.aeconcert.org/program_1.m3u as linked as per the link at: http://www.aeconcert.org/AEICRadio.html program_1 is a mountpoint defined in a Nicecast implementations which is broadcasting to an Icecast2 server. I believe Nicecast (on Mac OS X) is doing the same thing that your darkice implementation is performing on your RH9 box.
