  • I configured my Shoutcast Server I was searching a lot for different configuration settings and so on and had to swap to different sites to find all the info I wanted and needed.

    So I decided to collect the settings/configuration also on my site so that it's easier to find.

    Shoutcast Trans

    SHOUTcast Trans stands for SHOUTcast Trans(coder), as it is able to transcode mp3's to lower or higher bit rates. SHOUTcast Trans works by streaming mp3's from a play list specified in the configuration file. You should put this configuration in it's sepearated file shoutcast/sc_trans.conf as example.


    Pay attention that Shoutcast trans is started separately with as example this command:
    /etc/init.d/shoutcast_trans start

    The command depends on your system!
    I as example don't use a start/stop script but I simply launch it at startup with a task manager.
    If you as example gentoo, you can install Shoutcast with emerge and then you have the init scripts.
