I already ran into apache issues back then, that's why there is a line in the script to stop apache to do chucking or buffering for example:

header("Content-Length: ".$settings["max_listen_time"] * $settings["bitrate"] * 128); //suppreses chuncked transfer-encoding

You need to recode your audio files with ffmpeg for example to the desired bitrate you want to stream.

Oh wow, original author here. Never thought this would ever be picked up by HN after 12 years... :) I lost the credentials for this account, so no fixes for this script. I hope it will inspire people to reverse engineer MP3, it was very interesting for back in the days.

I found some poorly documentation on the winamp website. And basically it comes down to this: - you recode the MP3 to the lower bitrate - get rid of all headers - concatenate all audio into one big stream - inject every x bytes a "StreamTitle=[title]" regardless of frames

Very simple format.
