       (1) Download everything

       To run LiveIce you need the LiveIce distribution, a compatible
       mp3 encoder and the mpg123 mpeg audio player.
       (a) Download Liveice
       (b) Download LAME - the best free mpeg audio encoder - 
		look for the recent beta versions - 3.22+
	        because of changes I can only guarantee recent versions
       (c) Download mpg123 mpeg audio decoder (only needed for mixer
       mode)

       (2) Compile Everything

       (a) Compile LiveIce according to the setup instructions - it
       should be as easy as typing './configure' then 'make'
       (b) Compile the LAME encoder and the mpg123 decoder and
       install them somewhere in your path - e.g. /usr/local/bin is a
       good idea - remeber what you call them - I use
       /usr/local/bin/lame and /usr/local/bin/mpg123

       (3) Use the Gui Configuration Tool

       Run './liveiceconfigure.tk' and  use the GUI to set up all the
       relevant options, set the server and the port numbers to point
       at your icecast/shoutcast server,  set the PCM audio format to
       32000Hz Mono, enable the soundcard, set the encoder to LAME3,
       and the bitrate to 32000.
       Select soundcard only mode , forget about the playlist, in the
       executables field type in the name you gave to the encoder
       binary. And that should be setup for simple livecasting - so
       save those options to liveice.cfg.

       (4) Start your system off

       If you need to start your server then do that first, then run
       liveice. et voila - all the audio connected to your soundcard
       will be encoded and streamed to the server. So play audio CD's
       in your CDROM, plug up a microphone and an external tape sound
       system. Fire up Xmixer and do your radio show.

       (5) MP3 Mixer mode

       Top play that vast collection of mp3's in your show, you need
       to make a playlist listing all your mp3's, call it 'playlist'.
       Then Fire up the configuration GUI again, set everything up as
       before, but select mp3mixer mode this time instead.
       Save the config file and start it up.... now it should be
       playing your mp3's in order. You can select tracks and control
       the mixer with the keyboard.
