I been revising my list of options for people to connect to my icecast servers. And would like to know what clients you use to connect. I know of the list on the site and I would like to know what you guys use. Please Post Name, Version, OS and Why you choose or recommend this client. I use SAM by Spacial Audio, its a old version, for windows, Why because I got a good deal on the cost of it, it will stream audio files from a que I used to recommend as a free client Oddcast but most of you know it no longer being offered because of issues with the libraries it uses.

Most important source clients I use (in production) and/or test (in no order!): ices2, any, any but win32 oggfwd, any, any but win32 roard, any, any SavannahIce, any, any POSIX Shell, any, any system with POSIX shell ;) gstreamer, any, any but win32 About versions: I normally use the versions priovided by the OS or trunk, depending on the usecase. About the OS: 'any' includes: GNU/Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, win32 and other random OS like OpenVMS (depending on usecase). About used codecs and containers: ices2 supports only vorbis as by design. oggfwd only supports the Ogg container. Beside that I use codecs as needed by the usecase (Vorbis, Theora, FLAC, Speex, CELT, Opus, ...) in Ogg or Mkv(webm). My recommends: Does ices2 do the job? If so -> use it. Is it video? -> oggfwd. Does it contain realtime data (like Mic input) -> (rpld+) roard. Playlist based? -> rpld + SavannahIce. Does the above selected client doesn't do the job well? -> use something else like gstreamer or any other costum source client. Hope that helped you. :) PS: Some of them also support a GUI as frontend if needed. -- Philipp. (Rah of PH2) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
