Re: [lug] Justin's mserv/icecast

Just a question on this before I write the board. Did the program only
stream the live content of what was going out on the air waves or did it
allow the individual to listen to a predefined play list and avoid the
advertisements? This will help me determine what I say in an e-mail to the
board. Thank you Seth for bringing this to mine and everyone's
elses attention too.
