Just to let everyone know I'm now broadcasting an IceCast2 Ogg Vorbis stream of my LPFM station courtesy of MediaCast1 (http://www.mediacast1.com) for 10 hours a day Monday to Friday 20:00 - 08:00 GMT. Newage, World, Folk, Easy Listening format. 40kb/s mono. Regards, Ross Levis http://soulfm.stationplaylist.com http://winvorbis.stationplaylist.com http://www.stationplaylist.com --...

We are running an icecast2 server in conjunction with our LPFM radio station and need a little advice. We have been serving a single 128k ogg stream from a remote server and would like to make additional formats available (e.g. mp3, lower bandwidth, etc.) I would think this has been done a few thousand times and there would be a "best practice"...

...one will do the job." --- Director of ACB Radio (http://www.acbradio.org) For me personally, I only have a problem with OddCast when using the SQRSoft crossfading plugin. I need to use this crossfader as there is nothing else that works so well and sounds so professional. I use it for my LPFM broadcast. It works fine for most configurations except when Oddcast is set to 22khz mono which is what I prefer. Winamp2 crashes immediately. I have just ordered a DSL connection which I wish to use for streaming but currently I can't without compromising the sound quality and going to ster...

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits has stopped providing licenses for MP3 technology, "[...] noting that more superior audio formats have rendered the MP3 obsolete. Speaking to National Public Radio (USA), the Fraunhofer Institute said AAC has since become the 'de facto standard for music download and videos on mobile phones.' "

...ox to use the PCM EQ, which was always inferior. All other input plugins do not have their own EQ code so they utilize the PCM EQ. A common complaint until v3.0 and v2.90 was that Ogg Vorbis files sounded flat and lifeless compared to MP3 in Winamp when using the EQ. This was quite obvious on my LPFM station which had a fairly high treble boost and a mixture of MP3 and OGG. When v2.90 was released, Nullsoft switched the MPEG plugin to default to the new PCM EQ. Now all files are equalized the same. Regards, Ross Levis. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast pro...

Is it at all possible to synchronize listeners so they hear the audio at the exact same time? It doesn't matter if the source and listener is a few seconds different. Someone I know wants to send Ogg Vorbis encoded audio across a wireless LAN using Icecast to 2 LPFM transmitters on the same frequency, and they really need to be closely synchronized to prevent echo in an overlap coverage area. He could be willing to pay money towards custom development, if it is in fact possible. Thanks, Ross.

...erver. I had to install a number of open source libraries and compile darkice from source. No licence. non-free means you build each one stand alone and can't re distribute. Quality is excellent, and it runs on most players. I kept some notes [see below] I am using AAC+ to feed a couple of LPFM sites with almost zero errors over what had been troublesome paths for mp3 HE-AAC audio v2 (with SBR + PS) is the superb audio encoder used to encode high quality audio at really low bitrates (32 kbit/s).

We're running a darkice/icecast configuration to stream our LPFM radio station (and to provide a quick-n-dirty studio-transmitter-link). (See config data below.) We're getting intermittent "Buffer overrun!" errors out of darkice, and we associate these with interruptions in our audio stream that are quite noticeable. These occur anywhere from...

I was under the impression that "PCM equalizer" means it only equalizes the PCM codec, i.e. WAV files. Have you noticed a significant quality improvement in the EQ for compressed media: MP3, Vorbis, MPC?

Hi all, I just came across the following page: http://r3mix.net In the "News" section there is a fairly negative critique of Vorbis; especially it is mentioned that Vorbis "has terrible masking problems". There is also a Vorbis-encoded frequency sweep which shows strong deficiencies at high frequencies, but I suppose this is due to the quite low bitrate of the distributed
