Re: More Streaming Woes....

Two questions.  Im not really sure what the line

file://echo "http://$settings[w_host]/play.php?song=$s&uid=$user_id\r\n";

does exactly.  what is file://echo?  also, what does \r do for text 
formatting?
Also, how does Content-Disposition: inline; differ from 
Content-Disposition:attachment?
I'm finally getting my playing to work better.  I made a huge discovery 
in XMMS if anyone else is interested.  Maybe this is old news, but if 
you disable all of the shoutcast/icecast title streaming and icecast 
metadata channel, there are no more lockups.  ive been listening for 
hours.  and if you use the #EXTINF you dont need the shoutcast title anyhow.

Thanks for the help all.
I'm looking forward to be able to use my server in my house this fall. 
Also hopefully to get some sort of public release out.
