Hello Steve,

If all you need is your users to download files to play them locally,
then Icecast is not something you need.  Icecast is for streaming.  If
you had an online radio it would be very useful to you, though.

Furthermore, Icecast is not easy to setup for the inexperienced
computer-user, albeit after setting up correctly, you probably
wouldn't have a need to touch it again ever.  The process is
transparent for the users, though.  They only need to open the
streaming file on winamp or any other audio player with stream support
and that's it.

Can I ask you a favor?  Would you reduce the font size on your future
messages?  Or disable HTML e-mail completely if that works out better
for you.  It's somewhat annoying.

-Ivo
