Icecast

Icecast is a software system that allows people to broadcast audio streams, like music or live shows, over the internet. It acts as a central server that receives audio input from broadcasters and then transmits it to listeners worldwide. Think of it as an online radio station platform that enables multiple streams and connects audiences easily. Often used by independent broadcasters, live event organizers, or internet radio stations, Icecast helps deliver high-quality, real-time audio content without needing a physical radio station, making broadcasting more accessible and flexible.
