Audio Streaming HOWTO

This HOWTO will allow you to mount your own Radio Stream using Icecast 2.3.2

Who can use this?

As of right now our streaming server is open to all Global Shellz members level Immigrant or higher. YOU CANNOT RUN YOUR OWN ICECAST OR SHOUTCAST SERVER FROM YOUR SHELL ACCOUNT. We already provide this service for you, so there is no need. Your account will be locked if you are found to be running an Icecast/Shoutcast server from your shell.
