Icecast - Aug 2008 - Icecast Song Tracking

Hi list,
I was wondering if an Icecast mount is down, would icecast still keep a record
of the songs being played, artist name, and at what time eatch song was played?
And from what IP address the songs played from?
If icecast keeps these records, where does it keep them?
Thanks.

I don't quite understand the question.  If the mount is down, how would 
Icecast get this information?

Ordinarily you can log this sort of info to the playlist log which I think 
is not defined by default but I could be wrong about that.  I don't think 
IP address is stored but you could use the access log to figure that out. 
But as I say, if the mount is down then no data is coming in so there'll be 
nothing to log.

Or are you meaning a situation where the stream mount is down but the 
metadata updates keep on coming in?  I doubt Icecast would consider such a 
situation valid so probably doesn't log it as such.  It might dump enough 
info to the error log, haven't tried it.
