Hi! I'm having headaches trying to figure this.
In several documentations of Ice/Shoutcast, aside the server installed on the software, we need a persistent computer running winamp with a plugin to "feed" the audio stream to server and to the watchers.
But what if i'm unable to provide this stream? Is possible to "automate" this on a server? Or better: is possible to transmit a list of audio files through the server without the Winamp need?
Is there any software that works differently from this scheme watcher -> server -> Winamp?

… then you have nothing to broadcast, and thus no need for a SHOUTcast server?
Exactly what problem do you perceive with the WinAmp method? If it's simply that you want to run the SHOUTcast server software on something other than Windows, then use
the transcoder method instead. Either way, you need to provide an audio source or there's just no
point.

I'm sorry if i wasnt clear in OP.
My question, simply, was: is possible to broadcast a playlist, a list of files, sequentially or in order, via a webradio?
I mean, suppose we have in a server a folder called "music" and inside it a hand of audio files (whatever the format). Is out there any software to broadcast this filelist as a continuous stream?

Use nginx flv module you are can able to stream with ffmpeg. shell script or cron job or something. also can use HLS module on nginx.
if you do not want to use nginx you can look at hosting a Icecast server
http://www.icecast.org/ this one it is, canstream to with ffmpeg, .
there also is online web icecast server.
to answer original question ffmpeg maybe is the solution. shell script or batch script if you are a window can playlist stream on it to shouting or ice cast ,

Of course, the WinAmp method can handle that as well… I still don't see the issue at hand. :|

But… WinAmp doesn't need a person to operate it. Neither does SHOUTcast's own transcoder. :|
