Hi All, I have two questions. I have an icecast2 server installed, and I need to set up a Linux-based computer that sends a church's programs to the icecast server. (Both worship and teaching.) What application do you suggest? It would be really pleasing if I wouldn't need X11 to use the software, and it would display (with charactergraphics) the current signal level. The signal level is quite dynamic, so I do need dynamic compression on the fly. The other question: I run an internet radio that reads Ogg files from the disc and uses streamTranscoder to create the mp3 stream. There's a need for WMA as well. How is it possible to create WMA from the Ogg stream on the fly? Does streamTranscoder support this? If yes, could please someone send an example configuration file? (The WMA streaming server will be a Windows server.) Thanks in advance! Yours, Jacint

(The WMA streaming > server will be a Windows server.)WMA is Microsoft only so you will probably need to use Microsoft software to do this. But if you already have MP3 I realy don't see the reason for WMA, as anything that plays WMA is likely to also play MP3. -- Chris Jones, SUCS Admin http://sucs.org

It's so simple. :) Are you sure streamTranscoder can't produce a WMA? Yours, Jacint
