Icecast - Apr 2005 - WinAMP directory listing? and other questions...

Hello,

I was wondering if Icecast servers are listed in the
WinAMP directory?

I would also like to know how to include the title of
the currently playing song in the Stream Title.

Does Icecast supports a "backup" file just as
Shoutcast has for when the source clients goes
offline?

I am using ices 0.4 and Icecast 2.2.0.

Thank you for your reply!
Rafael Fernandez

Oddsock has an excellent Winamp plugin to list Icecast streams.

Is the listing with the directories a function of the streaming client, 
rather than the server?

Icecast servers are not listed at www.shoutcast.com, if thats what you 
mean.

Sorry I don't know how you'd do that with ices.

Icecast has support for 'fallback' mountpoints, but AFAIK there is no 
static file support, so you can fallback to another live stream but not 
a static file.

(I hope this is all accurate)
