Hello, I've got a FreeBSD 6 machine running icecast2 and ices0streaming four different streams of mp3's. Now i have a need to stream the same content as either aac+ or ogg vorbis whichever would be easiest to set up and give the best quality. I want these new streams to handle both broadband and dialup users without sacrificing quality. My problem is i really really do not want to

Then as Chris said, simply take your time in re-ripping your originals to flac format, update your m3u playlist as needed, and keep on streamin'. :) On Sun, 25 Jun 2006 18:03:48 -0500 Chris MacDonald <chris@thoughtsoft.net> wrote: > > Taking the 128 mp3 and re-encoding to flac won't fix any quality issues > you may have as they will retain the same 'flaws'.

I've thought about it briefly (I'm in the same boat as you, but I've been tinkering with making my own interface) and I more or less came to the conclusion that it was more complicated than it was worth, for me at least. For my purposes having spoken content recorded beforehand, uploaded, added to the playlist and played back a couple hours later was good enough. What you might

I've tried this on both my version and the stock version available via icecast.org just be certain and it happens with both versions. I'm
