    Using Icecast

    Locate the path of your webroot

    sudo pico /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

     
    go to the line that give the path and see what is the  webroot

     
    usually it is  /usr/share/icecast2/web
    and not /etc/icecast/web

    Copy two  audio files in this directory

    intro .(mp3  or ogg)
    backupfile.(mp3 or ogg)

    One file you can use as your intro is your jingles

    so 

    sudo cp myjingles /usr/share/icecast2/web/intro.mp3

    do the same for your  backupfile

    sudo cp myjingles /usr/share/icecast2/web/backupfile.mp3

    now edit your icecast xml to include these

    sudo pico /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

    The example <mount> section provided in the icecast.xml file is commented out by default. Before or after the commented section,

    put this in 

    <mount>

                     <mount-name>/airtimestream</mount-name>

     
                     <fallback-mount>/backupfile.mp3</fallback-mount>

     
                     <intro>/stationid.mp3</intro>

                     <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>

     
                    <hidden>0</hidden>

     
        </mount>
    <----
    where airtime stream is whatever you name yours in the streamtab of airtime

    ----->

    read more here

    restart icecast and you are good to go
