Using icecast as the output device from MPD has worked well for me in the past. Have you tried that route? Here's some official MPD documentation describing how to do that: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#IceCast It's been a while since I've set that up myself, but I don't remember it being too difficult to get working. MPD also has built in HTTP-streaming support, which is the next section on that page. I haven't tried that route myself, but it might be worth looking at. With either method, just use your typical MPD client to control the playback. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
