[Icecast] RE: Two questions

[Murray Saul]

I am happy using icecast/ices, but have two questions:

1. If I was using cron to schedule a switching of a playlist,  can I do 
this without restarting icecast so that at a SPECIFIC TIME (let's say at 
exactly 3:00 pm) a new song can be played without interupting the user 
listening to the broadcast.

2. Is there a setting when the user first connects to play a *welcome* 
file (i.e. about the radio station, etc....)

Just curious,
Regards,
Murray Saul
