Icecast Instructions
--------------------

For Ices >= 2.0 streaming, edit ices-playlist.xml and change the following fields

<input>
......
......  
   <param name="type">script</param>
   <param name="program">/path/to/your/crowdplay/instance/bin/next_song</param>
......
......
</input>

For Ices <= 0.4 (built with python support), edit the ices.conf file (ices.conf.dist if you haven't created your own yet) and change the following fields

<Playlist>
......
......
   <Type>python</Type>
   <Module>ices</Module>
......
......
</Playlist>

You must then create a script in the working directory of your ices process called "ices.py" that implements the function "get_next_song". Here is what my ices.py script looks like:

import os
def ices_get_next():
    return os.popen('/path/to/populist/bin/next_song').read().strip()

TODO: package this script for distribution
