https://archive.org/details/carl-blare-instructions-on-setting-up-a-streaming-server
Very cool! I haven't yet set out to figure out how creating categories and uploading content is accomplished on the Internet Archive, but I knew it is commonly done. I intend to upload the 3gigs of KFX that's been collected so far and currently on my google Drive ( https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EeYOhcN8r_DgaJlpBnAP-GRPUpAIKWCE - available for download to anyone) onto the Archive where it's more safe.
I had asked Carl on a few occasions to post a tutorial on setting up stereo tool for AM proccesing.. He never got around to it, but he did make some false starts.
There is a thing or two more to post about the streaming server details, which I will post here:

Hello
EXCELLENT! This might be simple.
Assuming you are using B.U.T.T. as the Encoder, Open BUTT Settings/ Server Settings/ Edit / Password - SHOW.
That will show you the password entered in Icecast to tie it together with the encoder.
The same information can be found in Icecast itself by opening its config file in a text editor. ,
Just to refresh... the typical signal chain is like this:
Playlist-Automation Program (in my case Zara) connects to Virtual Audio Cable 1 (VAC1);
VAC 1 connects to audio processor (in my case StereoTool);
Stereo Tool connects to VAC2;
VAC2 connects to BUTT;
BUTT connects to Icecast.
Once that is running you can monitor your stream in several ways...
- Through your browser;
- Through an audio player app;
- Via VLC Player connected to VAC2 and sending to soundcard's hardware out.
And remember that port 8000 needs to be open in your router.

Carl also gave me a copy of his Icecast config file minus his password. I will post it here too as soon as I have a moment to browse all that. Essentially I edited out his stuff and replaced it with my own.
