Basic Requirements

This section will describe the essential requirements in setting up a simple Internet radio station. It is by no means a complete list but should give you enough to get started.

This section will describe the essential requirements in setting up a simple Internet radio station. It is by no means a complete list but should give you enough to get started. Please also note that those are generic instructions. If you installed a Linux/Unix distribution package, then it will likely come with different paths, different means of starting it, etc. In that case please also refer to the documentation of that distribution and or a distribution specific HowTo.

There are two major components involved: the streaming server (icecast in this case) and the source client. The icecast server will be the place where all listeners of your station will connect. The source client (in general) runs on a separate machine than icecast, but does not necessarily need to. Source clients send the content to icecast and provide the stream data (encoded audio) that is then relayed out to listeners by icecast.

It is important to note that not all source clients work with icecast2. You will need to check to make sure that icecast2 is supported by your chosen source client.
