Edcast (formerly known as Oddcast) is an audio encoder that can be used to create Internet streams of varying types. Currently, mp3, ogg vorbis, ogg flac, as well as AAC+ are supported. And this application can be used to stream to both icecast2 and SHOUTcast servers.
Edcast is a free and open source encoder that is supported on both Windows and Linux platforms. It also will run in conjunction with various media players such as Winamp and foobar2000 as well as a standalone encoder.
Many independent broadcasters (and even commercial ones) use Edcast to create Internet radio stations like the ones found at the Icecast, Loudcaster and ShoutCAST station directories.
Note: as at January 2011, the official site of edcast ( http://www.oddsock.org ) has a 'we have shut down' message on it.[1]
