As others have said, 16kbps should do the trick. Keep in mind though that the quality of the sound will also depend on the sampling rate. MP3 will handle some higher sampling rates higher than some of

Thanks to Mike for pointing me to ices and away from the braindead shout. I'm kind of stumped on this one, now. I compiled ices-0.2.3 just fine it actually works! :) Ok, so I want to reencode for a lower bitrate (ices -R) and it complains that I need lame. ok, so I grab it. I compiled lame-3.92 (and lame can at least be started on the cli) So I go back to ices-0.2.3 and run: # ./configure

hi, i want to reencode our ezstream. but it dosent work. mdplay and lame are installed on the server. the config for ezstream is in the bottom of this mail. i dont understand the problem. have you any ieda ? have a lot of thanks my config: <ezstream> <url>http://localhost:8000/backup</url> <sourcepassword>*****</sourcepassword>

OK. So I am running a 1.5 Ghz P4 with 256mb runing redhat 7.3 using Liveice, Lame and Icecast. Liveice and lame on the source box and icecast on the streamer box. 96k and 56k streams sound wonderful. But the 24k stream sounds like gerbils talking to each other. Any ideas of what would be causing this? Thank You, Mike <p> -- ///////////////////////////////////////// - Mike

thanks Geoff. I was going to spare everyone the details and continue my search but I sincerely appreciate the help. Here's the output from 'configure', 'make', and 'make install', as best I could capture it. I'm not editing any of the make files or using any flags. This is the latest version if ices that is on icecast.org. It appears that libshout came with the

Hi! I would really appreciate if someone could try to help me out with this... i've been struggling with it for quite a while now. :( Anyway, I was trying to use ices to broadcast mp3s with icecast2 (a recent cvs snapshot of all 3 components from brendan's site). I have it working fine for some of my mp3s (encoded with lame -b 32) but with the other mp3s which are actually the ones that

thank you, for your fast answer. my problem with ogg is, that the mediaplayer don?t understand it. a lot of users are using ms mediaplayer unfortunately. greets Geoff Shang schrieb: > Carsten Henkel wrote: > >> we would like to use IceCast 2.3.1 as a mp3 streamer source for >> reencoding several sources of ices 0.4. >> >> It is working perfectly already by using

Hi: I have some people who want to be able to broadcast using a shoutcast DSP plugin with MP3, to an icecast2 server. But we can't get it to work. Since I can't be bothered booting one of our boxes into windows to try the shoutcast DSP itself, I decided to use darkice in shoutcast mode. I know this works with shoutcast servers. anyway, it connects, but only briefly, and then is

Hi: Firstly, there is no icecast 13.1. I'm guessing you mean icecast 1.3.1x. Icecast 1.x is no longer officially supported. Having said all that, icecast is just a server - it does not use Lame and it does not read from the soundcard. To help you any further, it would be best if you could load the core file into gdb or whatever the freebsd equivalent is and let us know where it crashed.

hi, if i reencode a stream that is in mp3pro (streamed with sam) to a lower bitrate by using ices/lame, is the reencoded stream mp3 or mp3pro ? thank you -- Mit freundlichen Gr?ssen Carsten Henkel mailto:carsten@chatlabel.de Eine gl?ckliche Frau braucht 4 Tiere: einen Jaguar in der Garage, einen Nerz im Schrank, einen Hengst im Bett und einen Esel, der alles

I'm using liveice and lame on another stream... ample rate of 22050 bitrate of 24000 It has worked fine for over 9 months now...except it crashes all the time because of liveice I think. >>> darkeye@tyrell.hu 8/28/02 9:15:58 AM >>> Matthew Mencel wrote: > Can the bitsPerSample be set any higher than 16?

There's three considerations. 1. This project has around fifty broadcasters. It has been running for 3.5 years, and whilst some have moved to using plugins like SAM which (presumably) does

Hi, Now that I've been able to look at streamtranscoder 3.0, I see there's absolutely no documentation whatsoever. I've not compiled it, but I note that previously when you ran it first time, it would create a sample config file for you to edit. Maybe it still does this. Oddsock's flash demo may shed more light on this, but I can't use it so don't know. Geoff. --

Well I have the following rpms installed lame-3.88-beta-1 lame-devel-3.88-beta-1 lame.h has been put in /usr/includes libmp3lame is in /usr/lib/ when I got to configure ices 0.5 with lame and setting the directories above It say it can't find decode_lame and doesn't add support for it. I have also tried to compikle lame from source with libsndfile and it complains about finding that.

I have tried changing the sampling rates. I have tried the two you mentioned below. Still no luck. Plus, if I disable one of the streams (either the 56 or the 96) the 24k stream works fine. Is LAME having issues doing 3 streams? Thank You, Mike <p><p><p><p>On Fri, 14 Jun 2002, Geoff Shang wrote: > Hi: > > The reason 24kbps sounds bad is in part due to the fact

I tried darkice 0.9 with icecast 1.3.12 and lame 3.91. I specified a 64k stream and similar options to what works for us with liveice. Streaming worked successfully, and I applaud darkice for being fairly simple to build and configure. But the stream sounded like mud. It was worse than our 16k mono RealAudio stream. I re-examined my config, I rebuilt everything with gcc 2.96, then with

So there is no way around having to re-encode them all? --Pritpaul --- Geoff Shang <gshang@uq.net.au> wrote: > Hi: > > My guess is that ices can't handle 16000 or 32000hz > sampling rates.

Hello, I've got two streams, one for broadband, one for dialup. Well, having had occation to use a dialup connection recently i checked the dialup stream. Although it was streaming what the broadband stream was, the audio quality was audibly worse. It didn't buffer, but it didn't sound as clear as the broadband stream. I used lame to encode the tracks to mp3 and used it's
