I have my icecast server running, but i cannot get any
streamers to broadcast through it.

What do i do?
I have Freeamp, How do I get it to stream my mp3's
(I know it's a newbie question)

Thanx

In order to make it runing right, you must run ices too, did you already configure /etc/ices.conf and /etc/icecast.conf? did you created a list.m3u?

How do I make an ices playlist
in ../ices/src/playlist/
there is
libplaylist.a Makefile.in playlist.o pm_builtin.o pm_python.c rand.o
Makefile playlist.c pm_builtin.c pm_perl.c rand.c
Makefile.am playlist.h pm_builtin.h pm_perl.o rand.h

And what do i edit in ices.conf?

The playlist file is an text file with the names of your files like:
# cat list.m3u
/music/song1.mp3
/music/song2.mp3
.
.
And the ices.conf should be something like:
# cat ices.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ices:Configuration xmlns:ices="http://www.icecast.org/projects/ices">
<Playlist>
<File>/usr/local/icecast/etc/list.m3u</File>
<Randomize>1</Randomize>
<Type>builtin</Type>
<Module>ices</Module>
</Playlist>
