Subject: I need some help with icecast and web

I was having trouble finding the right e-amil address to ask my question I hope
this is the right place if not please re direct this to them.

My question is I am launching a onlne radio station and the way I am doing it is
where people that want to listen can only listen by clicking the link on my web
page. would this software allow me to stream on my sight only I do not want it
listed on any free listen sites for my station is only for members and they
require a monthly fee to continue to listen.

Is ice cast right for me or do you know what I need to streem on my page
securely.

thank you for your time

That is trivial to set up. You can see that on my company's site
http://www.metaflash-direct.com or a Shoutcast-enabled site I maintain for 
a client (he's moving to Icecast shortly at my insistence :-)), 
http://www.krightsradio.com.

With Icecast, you can turn off "Yellow Pages" publication so it's
not
listed.

Icecast provides for password protected listener access.

You would need a programmed Web interface running against a database and 
merchant account to set up online subscriptions and establish the password 
protection. If you cannot do this yourself, you'll need to hire a 
programmer to do this for you.
