[icecast] syntax for playlist

[ronnie at mixsessions.com]

I should be more specific . What I meant to ask was - is it necessary for the directory that icecast streams or serves files from to "everyone" or the "world" have at least read permissions. I do plan to experiment with the permisions but I was just asking to see if any one had already tried this. I like to lock down my system as much as possible.

Thanks for the help!

Correct syntax for names with spaces would be the exact file name as it appears 
in the directory.

I also use the find /full/path/to/mp3 -name '*.mp3' > /etc/icecast/playlist.txt 
approach.  (Also would work for ogg, I am just on icecast-1.3.12, mp3 only)

Example of one of my playlists:

/disks/mp3/Apoptygma Berzerk - Enjoy the Silence (Live).mp3
/disks/mp3/Apoptygma Berzerk - Mourn (APB Remix).mp3

note - spaces work fine, you dont have to worry about it if you run a find
to create your playlists.

As for 'everyone to read' how do you mean -- on a lan with share, or
the directory is 755, or the directory is served up by icecast to the
world (the /usr/local/icecast/static dir) ?  Its real hard to know what you are
trying to do -- why not just chmod 700 /musicdirectory and see if icecast
works?  if you want it locked down, start testing and see what you can make of 
it.
