Shout Cast on the Mac
I've discovered an app called Scream for Mac, I've just started using it and being a GUI for shoutcast it seems to sort out alot of shoutcast/mac problems. Anybody else used this app? Is it worth buying? :D

If you're not comfortable with the command line, Scream could certainly come in handy. The floating window is convenient for a quick look at stats without leaving a terminal window open (though it would be nice if it could be resized wider and that animated progress bar used to show listener count would drive me mad :igor: ).
Putting a GUI to all the settings in sc_serv.conf has potential, but since that hides all the helpful comments in the file, it's not too useful for someone who'd be just starting out (catch-22: someone not just starting out has less need for the GUI). I'm curious how often it's polling the server for info. It's showing as using 10% of the CPU when I tried it, which is way excessive for what it's doing. Ten bucks for a RealBasic app? If you find the app worthwhile, it's worth it. I think I'll stick to the terminal. :) |
Downloaded the tool, installed it and tried it...
It worked but nothing beats a Terminal ;) |
