[CLUE-Tech] icecast question

[Francis X. Maier]

I'm running Yellow Dog Linux 3.01.  I've successfully installed icecast 
1 streaming radio server (the support files for icecast 2 don't seem to 
be available yet in ppc rpms, and my luck compiling them from source 
has not been good).

According to the icecast docs, I should be able to http stream my mp3s 
straight from my static_dir directory  -- in this case, 
/usr/share/icecast/static.  I can listen to individual pieces just 
fine.  See:

http://168.103.84.5:8000/file/von_bingen/instrumental_piece.mp3

But I'm completely confused about where to place my playlist, and how 
to get my browser to read it, triggering the mp3s.  I'm also 
experimenting with the MuSe broadcaster and xmms-liveice plugin, but 
both have baffled me so far.

Anybody have any ideas?
