Hello to all, My name's Can, I'm a server administrator in a middle-size company. I have a small question about Icecast. I'm about to create an online learning platform for blind users. I installed Moodle, would like to embed audio contents into lessons to prevent downloading. Is it possible to use Icecast as an audio streamer? I used it for a radio before, but after installation Icecast to my CentOS or Ubuntu server, what can i do to get URL for my audio files? Thanks for your answers from now, regards.

Icecast is made for live audio or video streaming, no on-demand streaming.> > Thanks for your answers from now, > regards. > _______________________________________________ > Icecast mailing list > Icecast at xiph.org > http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast

Streaming is not the same as copy protection. Just because you stream content this does not make it harder at all to download. To embed files you do not need Icecast. Just use a normal web server such as apache or nginx and put the files in the webroot somewhere so that the webserver will server them. You can than "embed" them like so: <audio src="https://example.org/patch/to/file.ogg" controls="controls"> The audio element is not supported by your Browser </audio> Even if you would live-stream them, downloading would be just as easy.> > Is it possible to use Icecast as an audio streamer?

At last thing, what is the diffrents between standard streaming with webserver and an-demand-streaming with a media server and also icecast streaming?

At the hardiest end One can just record something, that is playing with built in sound recorder in Windows.

Most time, the only thing this results in is frustrated users but not preventing anyone that really wants to, from downloading or ripping something. As can be seen with Blu-ray and the like.> > -- > Best regards, > Roman. > _______________________________________________ > Icecast mailing list > Icecast at xiph.org > http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast
