Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi guys! I'm new to this. I figured out how to configure the file on my IceCast server & the whole nine yards. What I am actually doing is creating a LIVE fire scanner feed from my computer. In addition to that i created a host name that has my comp IP address registered to it that it points back to my comp. What I wanna do is actually set up a link similar to how basic music websites have links set up for direct live music play or whatever it is just open up directly to Windows Media, RealPlayer, etc. I just wanna know if its possibly to use Windows Media Encoder 9 Series & the IceCast server & some how be able to create a link where if some visits my webpage, say if its MySpace or an actual website, they get just click the button & it starts playing the LIVE feed right away. I just don't know how to go about the process of doing so.

Thx! Now how would you format it so you don't have to click on it to play but where it plays automatically once you load up the webpage that contains this content?

That would do background music, it works for MID, WAV, AU and AIFF formats.

So no use for icecast streams.
