 == Setting up Icecast2 ==
 The first step was to install Icecast2.  I did this from audio/icecast2 in ports, but it can probably be done via pkg_add instead.  Once installed, it should be configured.  It seems that /usr/local/share/icecast/doc/ has some config examples.  In the configuration file, the <source-password>, <admin-password>, and <bind-address> are the main fields that I changed.  As I want to be the only one listening to this (which is to say didn't want the stream shared via the internet), I set <bind-address> to 127.0.0.1 .  I also changed <user> and <group> to be nobody as I had been starting the server as root.

+*MusicPD can now (as of musicpd 0.13.0_2) be setup with shoutcast plugin support for icecast from within the ports subsystem. This means that configuration and install is very simple. I recommend setting up id3tag support (which for some reason currently defaults to off in the port).  "make config" will allow you to change the options for the port on rebuilds. (optional)

 Again, the 127.0.0.1 address as I don't want this control available to everyone on the internet.  Make sure that the password in this file and <source-password> in icecast's configuration file match.  Set the bitrate to be whatever format you would like.  MusicPD will reencode all of your music to that bitrate and ogg format as you listen.

-In /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf I modified the example configuration file (from the doc subdirectory of the svn repository that we checked out earlier) to have the following lines:
- music_directory         "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
- playlist_directory      "/mnt/storageDrive/media/music"
- db_file                 "/var/mpd/mpd.db"

-== Getting the music to the client ==
-Once icecast and musicpd are running, it's very easy to get music to the client.  I use ssh port-forwarding to do it.
- ssh -N -L6600:127.0.0.1:6600 username@server &
- ssh -N -L8000:127.0.0.1:8000 username@server &
-And now to enjoy the tunes and control the server, you can install your favourite ogg-player (I'm currently using xmms-kde) and mpd client (kmp here).
-== Audioscrobbler support ==
-For audioscrobbler support, I am using mpdscribbler downloaded from http://www.frob.nl/projects/scribble/mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz .  To install it, I exported LDFLAGS=-lc_r and then did this:
- tar -xf mpdscribble-0.2.7.tar.gz
- cd mpdscribble-0.2.7
- ./configure
- make
- make install
-After this, the usual setup procedure is to run setup.sh.  Unfortunately the setup.sh script is a bit linuxified so I simply made a config in the following format:
- username = username
- password = md5ofmypassword
- cache = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.cache
- log = /usr/home/username/.mpdscribble/mpdscribble.log
- verbose = 2
-Just running mpdscribble after this works for me without trouble.  To get the md5 of a password, the following works:
- md5 -s 'My super cool password'
