I've been directing the development for a new Icecast 2.x source client for Android called "Cool Mic". It's designed to be simple and elegant with an easy to use interface. It uses the device's microphone to broadcast live audio in Ogg Vorbis format. It's come to the point in development where I'd like to ask for anyone interested in helping give feedback. All core functionality is there to stream to any Icecast 2.x server using Ogg Vorbis. Features are: + Stream live from microphone + Ogg Vorbis streaming format + Configure custom Icecast source username + password + Configure samplerate (8000/11025/16000/22050/44100) + Configure number of audio channels (1/Mono or 2/Stereo) + Configure Vorbis quality level (-0.1 to 1.0) + Copy stream URL to clipboard for sharing (by tapping microphone image in Home screen) + Device notification LED flashes rapidly while broadcasting Project site, screenshots: http://coolmic.net Anyone interested in checking out a prerelease version, please e-mail me directly and I'll provide you with the latest .APK to install (it's not in the Play Store yet and new builds are near daily). Any feedback at all is very much appreciated! Cheers, Jordan Erickson -- Jordan (PGP: 0x78DD41CB)

Hi unosonic, Cool Mic's primary advantage to other source clients out there is that it streams in the patent-free, high quality Ogg Vorbis format (BroadcastMyself only supports MP3). We will be adding opus support in the future as well. Re: Feature requests: Re-connect sounds like the next feature that will be added :) Thank you. I am fairly certain you can already use a wired microphone/headset instead of device's internal mic (haven't tested myself, don't have one ATM). A profile manager (save multiple icecast configs) are already on the TO-DO list =) Level control and VU meter as well.
