correct, ices2 is an ogg vorbis source client for icecast2, so if you specify mp3 files then they won't work.

Hi,

I have ices w/ ogg vorbis working, but people are complaining that quicktime (couldn't get iTunes to work) sounded distorted. Could this be to the settings in ices? Or is it because iTunes doesn't support OGG vorbis natively. Personally I thought it sounded great in winamp. THis is why I ask. Also since the previous setup that was there, they where using mp3, I was going to try it out using ices0. Would that help the distortion in iTunes? Maybe? A good but of the users that listen to this station use iTunes, so I am under the impression I should go with ices0.

If the problem only affects a certain group of players then it's most likely to be something with the decoder or player. If they are using the latest quicktime plugin and there is still an issue then talk to the developers of the plugin as they will have more of an idea why there is distortion.

is there a way to adjust the settings of the encoder?

Do individuals adjust the settings on the LAME encoder? I'm using an on-board sound card; Perhaps that should be upgraded?
