Hello Sir/Mam, I installed your product icecast-2.3.1 for my machine and set the port as 3000. The same machine also contains quicktime. I started icecast server usng the command icecast -c pathof icecast.xml When i tried the link icy://serverip:3000/song.mp3 from the quicktime player, it started playing the song. The whole song got streamed properly but when i stopped the icecast server and gave the link as http://serverip:3000/song.mp3 , the song started playing, but it shouldn't have played it as the server was not running. But when i tried icy://serverip:3000/song.mp3 link, the song didnot get played. Can you tell me the reason for this. Thanks -Manasa
