Note: AAC/HE AAC/aacPlus streams display as MP3 audio, since Icecast2
uses the same content type to stream both AAC and MP3 streams.

Streaming Files
Icecast2 provides a means of streaming static on-demand AAC/HE AAC/aacPlus files
produced with Opticodec-PC File Encoder. This is not the same as a web server. A
web server downloads the file to the client player computer, even though the file
will play as it is downloading. Conversely, Icecast2 streams the file. It does not
download the file.
If the default directory is used, then files may be placed in:
C:\Program Files\Icecast2 Win32\web
They may be streamed to a client player such as Winamp by opening:
http://ip-address-or-domain:port/filename.aac
Remote Administration
Icecast2 provides remote administration via a web browser. Open a web browser to:
http://serverIP-or-domain:port/admin/stats.xsl
Log in using the admin password that is specified in the config file.
