I'm looking for a good source client that runs on windows 10 that can take a feed and stream AAC MP3 and possibly Opus to my icecast2 server. Everything seems dead on the app list. I found rocketcaster but I'm hesitant to spend money on something I've never heard of. Any suggestions? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've found Rocket Broadcaster to be a good choice. I've had good luck with it, and the developer is responsive to feedback.

I like the sam encoder that Spacial Audio put out years ago. They don’t develop it anymore, but many still use it. Also the SPL Encoder that comes with Station Playlist is good too.

I've been using RadioCaster for a few years. Very reliable and has many different format encoders. I've run multiple encoders from 1 source and even two instances (requires a second renamed install). Not a lot of display action (useful level meter) and uses very little CPU.

I use FFmpeg. It includes an Icecast protocol.

If your input audio is anything other than 48kHz it will have to pass through a resampling stage before the Opus encoder. If you don't want that, Ogg Vorbis is an alternative and well supported. MP3, Vorbis and Opus are not patent encumbered. However, LC-AAC is still under patent until the end of this year (original publication date of 1999 plus 20 years). The patents on HE-AAC (AAC+) and HE-AACv2 (eAAC+) don't run out until the middle of the next decade at least. -- Paul Martin <pm at nowster.me.uk>
