Additional +features include scriptable playlist and metadata handling. All of its +features make ezstream a very flexible source client. + +Supported media formats for streaming are MP3, Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora. +Native metadata support includes MP3 (ID3v1 only) and Ogg Vorbis, and many +more formats when the optional TagLib support has been compiled in. + +Ezstream is free software and licensed under the GNU General Public License. + WWW: http://www.icecast.org/ezstream.php |
