A collection of files for setting up an Icecast streaming server to stream vinyl records. Originally done with a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

A collection of files for setting up an Icecast streaming server to stream vinyl records.

Run the following as root or with sudo on the Pi:

apt update
apt install icecast2 ices2 apache2 -y
mkdir /var/log/ices
mkdir /etc/ices2
mv icecast2/icecast.xml /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml
mv ices2/ices-alsa.xml /etc/ices2/ices-alsa.xml
mv ices2/ices2.service /etc/systemd/system/ices2.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable ices2.service
sysemtctl start ices2.service

Now plug your USB turntable into the Pi and start playing something. Then open the IP address and port for the Pi in your web browswer to listen! Should look something like this:

http://192.168.1.101:8000

You can find the Pi's IP address by running the command ip addr from your terminal session on the Pi.

You can also set up a simple Apache webserver on the Pi to host the stream on a custom webpage rather than listening from the Icecast page if you want. If there is demand for this, I will add resources and instructions to this readme. Enjoy!
