Andrew, No, everything is console based. For example, my setup consists of: 1. Making a playlist: a text file listing each song in my collection (locate *.ogg >> playlist) 2. Starting IceCast 3. Starting IceS 4. Listening IceS then reads the playlist file that is created and by configuration, either randomly picks a song or goes in sequential order, again, that is up to you. I generally like the system, not bad at all, the only thing I wish I could do was call up songs on a whim, which out of the box cannot be done, however, with a little php script on the webserver, I'm going to do just that (add the new song to the top of the playlist and send a SIGHUP). But yes, everything is console based, and I used it for well over 8 hours today without a single dropout or audio problem. -- Justin W. Pauler > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew L.
