Icecast Hosting

Icecast is an open source streaming audio server that allows you to broadcast audio files to anyone over the Internet. The Icecast system can deliver live audio or archived audio on-demand. Kerry Cox defines Icecast as follows:

"Icecast Media Server is an audio broadcast system that manages both music and voice streaming. Typically, Icecast and its streaming utilities use both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats. Listeners can connect to Icecast servers using a variety of client applications. This means there is basically no limitation to the types of clients used by listeners or the formats in which Icecast can broadcast."
