Icecast

[Francis X. Maier]

Brian,

I have it running as a broadcast server on my iMac 350 with YDL 3.0.1.  
I tried running running playlists from xmms-liveice and MuSE on the 
same machine (i.e., xmms-liveice to icecast to net), but I couldn't 
make that work.

I now use playlists in iTunes with Nicecast on my G5, which sends to 
icecast on my iMac, which sends to net.  Not elegant, but it works just 
fine.

Unless you're happy with a very modest built-in icecast http serving 
ability, you need another program plus icecast, especially to "live 
stream", as far as I can tell.
