ShoutCAST and Streaming Questions

[dwoldo]

Hello,

Thanks for your relpy. Do I want Icecast or Icecast2? If Icecast2, what is the direct link to the icecast2 web site for Linux? And the same with Icecast?

Does Icecast have the same features as Shoutcast? Is it as popular?

Is it possible to have Shoutcast stream MP3, however not force the listeners to use the *.pls file, like maybe an *.m3u or what have you?

Thanks and God Bless!
