Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello to everybody .

Searching how to build an Internet Radio Station I came up with icecast .
It seems to be a very good programm . But because I am new to Linux I haven't big experience on it . So setting up icecast is a little bit difficult for me .

So , I have a slack machine with many mp3 in the directory /home/ftp . I want these mp3 to broadcast on internet . I need icecast and ices0.0.4. I attache my two conf files . This I Want to make is that . I have 5 playlists and I want to make them play diferent hours of a day .

10-12 playlist1
12-14 playlist2

How can I do this ?

I run icecast with this command : icecast -b -c /usr/local/etc/icecast.xml
I run ices with this command : ices /usr/local/etc/ices.conf .

Something else I want to ask . Is there any webmin modules for icecast and ices that work ?
