Yeah, it was https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-ezstream/#lbAH (https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-ezstream/#lbAH)
It worked great for what I wanted, it called out to a script that found a random mp3 and retuirned that filename and path. In fact, I'm still using that script with liquidsoap today haha July 25, 2021 11:56 PM, "Michael Z Freeman" <mich...@michaelzfreeman.org (mailto:mich...@michaelzfreeman.org?to=%22Michael%20Z%20Freeman%22%20<mich...@michaelzfreeman.org>)> wrote: Thanks. Can you remember what this software was ? Yes to "can't really tell the difference". A lot of the music streams I listen to are almost certainly re-compressing mp3's and its usually "good enough". But I'm thinking of VBR. Mp3's can be joined together if the frame boundary is taken into account. Although if that technically makes a final joined file "VBR" I'm not sure yet. ------ Original Message ------ From: j...@jakebriggs.com (mailto:j...@jakebriggs.com) To: "Michael Z Freeman" <mich...@michaelzfreeman.org (mailto:mich...@michaelzfreeman.org)>; savonet-users@lists.sourceforge.net (mailto:savonet-users@lists.sourceforge.net) Sent: 25/07/2021 12:51:14 Subject: Re: [Savonet-users] Joining together multiple mp3's with vary bitrates without transcoding ? I can't say I've done this with liquadsoap, but I did find some software that would stream untranscoded mp3s to icecast that worked great for a few days but choke on certain mp3s. I could never work out exactly which ones but icecast didn't like the sudden format changes. I resigned myself to just transcoding the mp3s to a high bitrate and I've been doing that for years and I cannot tell the difference really....

I have some DJ mixes (originally from C90 tape) that vary in bitrate between each file. I could have a separate mount point (to icecast) for each mix but want to create a radio station like format with each mix playing one after another (with a jingle between each one or over quiet parts). So is there a way of doing that; playing one mix after another, with bitrate varying sometimes, without transcoding ? Looking at it I don't think there is but thought I'd ask anyway. Cheers Michael
