NAME

       icecream - download icecast and shoutcast streams, redirecting all fetched content to stdout and/or to disk at the same time

SYNOPSIS

       icecream [OPTIONS] URL [URL..]

DESCRIPTION

       icecream is a lightweight, non-interactive, stream download utility.  It connects to icecast and shoutcast servers or direct stream URLs,
       and redirects all fetched content to stdout and/or to media files on your disk.

       Listen to the stream piping the output to a stdin-capable media player.	Save the stream to a named file or split it into different tracks.
       It is possible to redirect the stream and save it to disk at the same time.

       icecream is able to parse pls and m3u playlists, and to download mp3 and ogg direct stream URLs. If the stream is anonymous it will be
       saved as 'stream-time.mp3', where time is actual timestamp.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	       Print a help message describing all options

       -q, --quiet
	       Turn off output

       -v, --verbose
	       Be verbose

       -t, --tracks
	       Split stream into tracks (if possible)

       --name=NAME
	       Save the stream to file specified by NAME. Format codes starting with "%" will be replaced. See the date command for valid format
	       codes.

       --stop=N[units]
	       Stop downloading the stream after N kb/mb/min/songs

       --user-agent=AGENT
	       Set user-agent header to AGENT

       --stdout
	       Output stream to stdout (implies -q)

       --sync  Turn syncing on, required for some mpeg players that read from stdin

       --debug Turn on debugging outputs

EXAMPLES

       Streaming to mpg123
	       icecream --stdout http://radio.com/playlist.pls | mpg123 -
