RE: Streaming Audio
Alexander, Thanks to you and everyone else who provided insight on this problem. I actually got everything finished and working late last night using IceS as the stream client and IceCast to stream out the music. It works quite well, I've actually made a big playlist of all my songs and it randomly plays all of them. Thanks again, -- Justin W.

RE: Streaming Audio
Andrew, No, everything is console based. For example, my setup consists of: 1. Making a playlist: a text file listing each song in my collection (locate *.ogg playlist) 2. Starting IceCast 3. Starting IceS 4. Listening IceS then reads the playlist file that is created and by configuration, either randomly picks a song or goes in sequential order, again, that is up to you. I generally like the system, not bad at all, the only thing I wish I could do was call up songs on a whim, which out of the box cannot be done, however, with a little php script on the webserver, I'm going to do just that (add the new song to the top of the playlist and send a SIGHUP). But yes, everything is console based, and I used it for well over 8 hours today without a single dropout or audio problem. -- Justin W. Pauler -Original Message- From: Andrew L.

If not, is it easy to select songs from the console? I ask because I have an opportunity to trade some old parts for an old laptop (133Mhz, 16MB RAM, etc).

Streaming Audio
Hello Everyone, I've got quite a collection of Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) files on my FreeBSD machine that I would like to be able to stream for personal use (really I'd like to be able to listen to them at work! :)) I've done quite a bit of research and can't find any software to do exactly what I need. IceCast and Shoutcast look like they'll both work just fine for the server, no problems there. However, as for the source client, that's another story. This machine was built as a mini-server, I use it for IRC/DNS/WWW and so forth, therefore, has no X server and no soundcard (for the record it has a soundcard built onto the motherboard AC97, but FreeBSD 4.10 sees it as chip0, so I don't think it's useable), and all of the source clients I have found either require a soundcard or the X system to be installed. Is there any help for me? I remember the days of Windows streaming with Shoutcast, in that case, Winamp connected with a socket to shoutcast and completely bypassed the soundcard... Anything like that for FreeBSD? Thanks All -- Justin W.

RE: Streaming Audio
Michael, I have heard that XMMS will allow me to stream to a Shoutcast or IceCast server, however, I wasn't able to find a way to compile XMMS WITHOUT the GUI; it seemed you had to build the whole thing! -- Justin W.
