SHOUTcast vs. Icecast
The difference between the two stream servers and which one you have.
Both are servers that send your audio to listeners. Listeners don't notice a difference; every common player supports both.
| SHOUTcast | Icecast | |
|---|---|---|
| Players | All | All |
| Directories | Listed in the SHOUTcast directory | Common in open directories |
| Live DJ connection | The same for both: use SHOUTcast v1 in your software | |
