Well I have some 16 GB of CD's on a hard drive.  Since there are several 
computers in the house along with one on the hi-fi system, I thought I would 
like to just leave music running and be able to listen to it, where ever I 
was in the mansion.

Darkice supposedly streams from the audio card so that means I could have my 
music, web radio, anything I can listen to,  on the server computer.  Ices2 
streams from playlists, which for me are impossible to generate due to trying 
to generate items from long pathnames.

Since I have no experience in this field and help for setting icecast2 up 
suddenly appeared, I thought I would try it.  I'll look at gnump3d, but all 
my files are encoded in .ogg format.

So yes I guess I want to stream to multiple locations.

Thanks for the response and a pointer to something else.

regards
