[school-discuss] how to "fire up" an icecast broadcast (.mp3)

[mikee <meschman@engima.com>]

hello,

i've been "burning in" a new broadcast box since 6 am.
it has been broadcasting 2 programs concurrently on a $700 1 gig athalon
that whole time without a problem. (on a lan with 300-400 nodes).

will go live this weekend.

icecast is free and hasn't caused a problem in over a dozen events for us,
all 3-4 hours.

i'll post the link this w.e. so you can listen if you like :-)
(please ...)

mike eschman, etc...
"Not just an afterthought ...

run icecast ... if it is not in your path
/usr/local/icecast/bin/icecast

in another console
edit /home/...[whatever]/live-broadcast/liveice/playlist
cd /home/...[whatever]/live-broadcast/liveice/
./liveice
