Hi –

I am looking for a way to generate multiple mp3 streams to icecast.

From my research, it seems that the most common way to generate one stream is mpd/icecast2 and that can support either mp3 or ogg format. It also seems that the most common way to generate multiple streams is ices2/icecast2 but that only supports ogg format.

I have a lot of mp3s – and I still intend to use them as mp3s. So at least for me personally, re-encoding all of them as ogg files is not an option. Storage space is cheap these days but the replication effort to keep things in sync would be a nightmare for me.

I’ve seen reference to the fact that ices streams mp3s but I’ve not been able to get it to compile – it seems likely that ices is so old that the package dependencies no longer align. Has anyone successfully compiled ices on Raspian or a Debian distro lately? Or does anyone have a suggestion of a different program to feed multiple streams to icecast2?
