Does it work on Shoutcast?

There is important info on this page. Shoutcast cannot deliver the correct Flash security files and so the ‘now playing’ data for PRO-ICE must be bounced through a proxy webserver, plus there is a limit on the mount point names acceptable to a Flash client. Minicaster does connect to Shoutcast but we see it as a secondary platform, given the reluctance of Nullsoft to make it compatible with Flash. Icecast, on the other hand, is extremely easy to configure for Minicaster providing your stream has MP3 audio.
