A few questions

I just got my shoutcast server running on my RedHat 8 box. It is up and working, but now I wanted to tweak it a bit and do some fine tuning...

First off...Do I have to have all the mp3's encoded at the bitrate I wish to broadcast at, or can I simply set a broadcast bitrate.

Second...I have the link to a .pls file which has an mp3 with the same name as instructed...however, the stream only plays that one song, not all of the songs in the directory

Third...If I wanted to create links on my website in order for people to tune in, how do I have it say "Listeners : X/X" "Now playing: xxxxx" "Server Status: Up" etc...

Thanks
