Finding A Server

There are two comprehensive lists of Icecast servers, available on the web at <http://yp.Icecast.org> and <http://yp.shoutcast.com>. These servers provide brief descriptions of the servers and IP addresses to connect to. Also of note is the server stream rate. Keep in mind that it is impractical for a user with a connection slower than the stream to attempt to connect, as the low speed and frequent pauses to rebuffer would be inhibitive. When Mint Audio is run for the first time, it will configure the Internet Preferences to automatically play Icecast streams when a Icecast link is clicked. This will work with most browsers, however, Netscape users must configure the browser separately. Please see "Configuring Netscape for Icecast".
