Re: internet radio and linux!

I found it before, but it seems like just a server to carry the content
from some client. What I need is an interface to autoselect and play the
content to the live365 server in linux that does what I need it to do. When
I installed icecast it just appears to be a daemon that needs something to
connect to it, how can I control it without knowing the length of the song
so if I put play commands in the shell script it doesn't start every song
in the list at the same time? That's what I get with an sblive. I use the
alsa drivers, and it won't let two mp3's overlap in to one another, when I
play the second one, it makes a big pause when it cuts the first one off,
how do I fix that?
