Hi,
Currently, I am doing a project which involve audio streaming on the web. So I choose shoutCast as my server. But, I am required to create a playlist which enable user to request a song and the song will be played automatically.
If there any script or software provide this feature??
regards...

Put the mp3s you want to stream into the /content folder in the directory you extracted SHOUTcast into. (either below /console or /gui depending on which one you're using)..

now make a web page with links of the following format: <a href="http://my.server:myport/content/song.pls">play this song</a>

No, you don't have a file named song.pls in that directory, but SHOUTcast will create the playlist if it finds a .mp3 file with the same name.

(this information is available here.. see question D1... http://www.shoutcast.com/support/docs/docs.phtml?filenumber=120&language=english&layout=normal&prevlayout=normal

P.S - this works fine for me, but what i'd like to do is be able to link to a PLAYLIST from a web page and have that stream on demand.. anyone know how to do this?
