Description: Icecast is an audio/video streaming media server that can be used to create everything from Internet radio stations to privately running music playlists. DarkIce is a live audio streamer capable of recording audio from an audio interface (e.g., a sound card), encodes the audio, and sends it to a streaming server.

Steps to Install:

Copy and paste the following lines into a terminal:

Wget https://github.com/x20mar/darkice-with-mp3-for-raspberrpi/blob/master/darkice_1.0.1- 
999~mp3+1_armhf.deb?raw=true mv darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb?raw=true darkice_1.0.1- 
999~mp3+1_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame0 libtwolame0
sudo dpkg -i darkice_1.0.1-999~mp3+1_armhf.deb

sudo apt-get install icecast2

During the installation process, it will ask you if you want to configure Icecast2.
Select Yes.
The next screen will ask you to specify the domain name.

Select OK to use the default hostname "localhost".

Now, in the next steps, you will be required to add 3 passwords.

The first one is to control access to media sources.
The second is to use stream relays.
The third password is to grant access to the administration console.
Click ok to use the default password.
The default username will be “admin”.

Run the below command.
```
sudo nano darkice.cfg
```

Then copy and paste these configurations in the file:

# this section describes general aspects of the live streaming session
[general]
duration     = 0     # duration of encoding, in seconds. 0 means forever
bufferSecs   = 5     # size of internal slip buffer, in seconds
reconnect    = yes   # reconnect to the server(s) if disconnected
# this section describes the audio input that will be streamed
[input]
device          = plughw:0,0  # Soundcard device for the audio input
sampleRate      = 22050     # sample rate in Hz. try 11025, 22050 or 44100
bitsPerSample   = 16        # bits per sample. try 16
channel         = 2         # channels. 1 = mono, 2 = stereo
# this section describes a streaming connection to an IceCast2 server
# there may be up to 8 of these sections, named [icecast2-0] ... [icecast2-7]
[icecast2-0]
bitrateMode     = abr       # average bit rate
format          = mp3       # format of the stream: ogg vorbis
bitrate         = 320       # bitrate of the stream sent to the server
server          = localhost # host name of the server
port            = 8000      # port of the IceCast2 server, usually 8000
password        = lolcat123 # source password to the IceCast2 server
mountPoint      = Stream.mp3  # mount point of this stream on the IceCast2 server
name            =  Raspberry Pi Stream # name of the stream
description     = Broadcast from Raspberry Pi # description of the stream
#public         = yes       advertise this stream?

Save the changes using Ctrl+X ,then press Y ,and then Enter.
Then create another file named "darkice.sh" using the below command:
```
sudo nano darkice.sh
```
Paste the below line in the file. This line contains the address to the configuration file.
```
sudo /usr/bin/darkice -c /home/pi/darkice.cfg
```
Then make the darkice.sh file executable using the below command:
```
sudo chmod 777 /home/pi/darkice.sh
```
Next, start the Icecast2 service using the below command:
```
sudo service icecast2 start
```
Installation will be completed.

Useful for: audio/video streaming server, radio, supports mp3.
