Icecast is an open source and cross-platform media streaming server software that is capable of transporting all sorts of popular audio file formats, including OGG Vorbis, OGG Theora, WebM, Opus, and MP3.
Being a cross-platform application, Icecast runs on Linux and Windows operating systems. On GNU/Linux systems, Icecast is a command-line program that has no graphical user interface, forcing users to configure its settings from a terminal window.
An interesting aspect about Icecast is that it allows users to create an Internet radio station without too much hassle, and without them knowing anything about audio streaming servers and radio stations.
When installing the application on a Debian-based operating system, such as Ubuntu, it will ask you to configure the Icecast media streaming service, which consists of adding a hostname, a source password, a relay password, as well as an administration password.
Another interesting feature is the ability to support new audio file formats, which can be added by the user through extensions. As such, we can easily say that Icecast is a versatile media streaming server solution for both Linux and Windows operating systems.
Besides transforming Icecast into an Internet radio station, you can also use it to build a private Jukebox. The software is being known for supporting open standards for interaction and communication.
It currently comes with a few command-line options that can be accessed by running the "icecast2" command in any terminal emulator app. Those arguments can be used to run Icecast in the background, as well as to specify a custom configuration file.
Icecast is, was, and remains a great media streaming server for Linux kernel-based operating systems. It supports all the important audio file formats from the get-go, and it's versatile enough to transport any other multimedia type.
