	Description:	Implement a Shoutcast music streaming server
	Author:	sk89q
	Age:	20
	Country:	United States
Comment:		Shoutcast is a music streaming server program. Shoutcast source code is not available, so it cannot be customized directly. There is an equivalent Open Source project named IceCast, but it is written in C++. This package provides a pure PHP implementation of a Shoutcast server, so it can easily be controlled from PHP.
