[Vorbis] icecast

[Steve]

(Yes, I can reduce my font size.) Thanks for the great reply. I could use just a little further clarification, please.  I program with various softwares, so I'm not inexperienced. I do not prefer to require my site visitors to open/save files.  I would prefer to stream transparently for those who have an appropriate player.  These clips range from 2 to 7 megs.  So trying to put together what you and I have written, would you perhaps say that Icecast would be desirable for my purposes and would probably be fairly easy for me to set up, and that it would not require anything but a compatible player for my visitors?

  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
