MuSE is a user-friendly tool for network audio streaming.
MuSE provides the free software community with a user friendly but powerful tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for indypendent free speech online radios.
MuSE is an application for the mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound: it can mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, mp3 or ogg) plus a souncard input signal, the resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded at different bitrates, recorded to harddisk and/or streamed to the net.
When sent to a server, the resulting audio can be listened thru the net by a vast number of players available on different operating systems.
To be operated MuSE offers graphical interfaces and a documented commandline interface in the good old unix style.
