< h2 > What is Icecast ?< / h2 >
< p > Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and interaction.< / p >

< p > There are two major parts to most streaming media servers: the component providing the content (what we call < b > source clients< / b > ) and the component which is responsible for serving that content to listeners (this is the function of icecast).
