Linux Servers and Shoutcast (Help please!)

[TLDK]

Ok thanks for that - its not my eyes i'm worried about - its the porridge between my ears.

I think your right - a crash course in Linux is called for (eek!).

If you have a windows based Pc you can install winamp and the DSP plugin to play your mp3s and send them to the server so others can listen in. If you wanted a total automated playlist , get sc_trans for linux also (see the download section on shoutcast.com and select be a DJ).

I don't have a PC - I just need to get this clear - does sc_trans negate the need for Winamp on a PC or can I get round it with this sc_trans thingy which i have already mucked around with a bit.
