Well, I run my own station or else I'd let you test this on my server, but got a DJ starting his show at 7 PM EDT. I thought you used SPL?

HI all. this is a bit of a technical question so please bear with me. I use two instances of Winamp when I do Internet broadcasting: one that just plays the music, and one that actually handles the compression and streaming. Now, since the instance of winamp that handles the streaming is not the instance that plays the music, the broadcasting instance can't stream the artist and title information to the server. Fortunately, Shoutcast servers can accept separate streams for the audio and metadata, then serve them both to the listeners at the same time. So, in the instance of winamp that plays the music, I use a plugin that streams only the metadata to the Shoutcast server, while the broadcasting instance streams the audio. What I am wondering is if Icecast servers can do the same thing. Can an Icecast server accept separate streams for the audio and metadata, then serve it to the listeners? If the answer is yes, is there a plugin for winamp that can stream just the metadata to an Icecast server? thanks in advance for any information you can give me. -Bob To post a message to the list, send it to winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please send a message to: winamp4theblind-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
