Hey, JimmyJazz (I can only assume this is a Clash reference, if so two thumbs up), I responded to your very old how to in the hoary section but I'll ask it here too. Any idea how I can get the scrobbler plugins to recognize the id3 tags? It says its a bad id3 tag or it doesn't have one. I know all my songs have them. I'd like to get my last.fm profile update when I'm listening to my station. Any idea?
Also, is there an advantage to shoutcast over icecast? The latter seems a little more difficult to set up which is why I went with shoutcast.

I was looking into that issue a while back and found that AudioScrobbler dropped the feature allowing streams meta-data to be submitted to AS servers, appearently it was causing some problems. Streams don't use actual ID3 data but special meta-data. You might try requesting that they return this feature at their home page.

I use Shoutcast (to serve) mostly because its really simple and reliable. Icecast actually seems to be better and have more features though. I have used it for a short time but found I had stability issues with it.

Where are you pulling the current track playing and next track from? When I run ices, I don't know whats coming up next until like 10 seconds before the previous song ends.

I wrote my own DJing software in python that works along side of ices.
But you can generally pull the data from your playlist as long as you turn the random track feature off in ices.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Know of a good way to jumble up my playlist?

http://jimmyjazz.homeip.net:808/shufflefilelines.py

you can download the above python script (which I made just for you btw)
install it anywhere you want (/usr/local/bin) and run it like so...

shufflefilelines.py /the/path/to/your/song/list.lst

it will shuffle the file and create a new one called <yourfilename.list>.shuffled in the same directory (I force it to make a new file to avoid accidents that may ruin important files)
Anyways just point ices to that newly shuffled file and you are done.

also you may wanna take a look at you ices.cue file which gives you information about the current playing track (like 5 I think is the current position in your playlist ices is reading from)

Very slick site! The tunes are nice too, thanks for serving 'em up. Looks like you use Bluefish, may I ask what you like about it? I haven't used it much.

Bluefish is simple and lite and has a nice little reference feature. I use Quanta sometimes too though just depends on if I am in KDE or Gnome

Thanks for the script. I haven't tried it yet. I had looked at ices.cue the other day. Just finished my php script to automatically refresh the now playing list. Only thing it doesn't take into account is how much the end user has buffered. Not sure how to go about calculating that, or if it is even possible. But, unless the buffering is way queued up, it's still pretty effective.

yeah I wouldn't really think it would be at all possible to figure out how much they have buffered but it really shouldn't matter because most people only buffer 30 seconds or so anyway.

I was considering making my DJ software (for ices) available, would anyone be interested?
