<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(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?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello Steve,<BR><BR>If all you need is your users to download
files to play them locally,<BR>then Icecast is not something you need.
Icecast is for streaming. If<BR>you had an online radio it would be very
useful to you, though.<BR><BR>Furthermore, Icecast is not easy to setup for
the inexperienced<BR>computer-user, albeit after setting up correctly, you
probably<BR>wouldn't have a need to touch it again ever. The process
is<BR>transparent for the users, though. They only need to open
the<BR>streaming file on winamp or any other audio player with stream
support<BR>and that's it.<BR><BR>Can I ask you a favor? Would you reduce
the font size on your future<BR>messages? Or disable HTML e-mail
completely if that works out better<BR>for you. It's somewhat
annoying.<BR><BR>-Ivo<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Vorbis
