“The purpose of this document is to describe the process of
using Linux based tools to setup a server used for streaming MP3
data. With a streaming MP3 server, a wad of MP3’s, and a microphone
a user can create their own internet radio show complete with
snappy banter.”
“For the server there are two choices that I considered:
Nullsoft’s Shoutcast and the GPL’ed Icecast. Both servers run under
Linux, both servers can accept audio streams from a multitude of
MP3 streamers, both servers were relatively easy to setup, but I
chose to use Icecast….”
“For the MP3 streamer I chose to use Shout. Shout is also
designed by the same group that created the Icecast streaming
server. Although the Icecast team is no longer supporting Shout(in
favor of their newer IceS), many of the available add-ons require
that you have Shout installed.”
