Centova Cast is extremely easy to use for both the administrator and clients. It is a complete, standalone control panel, and does not require any other control panel software on the same server (although it will happily coexist with CPanel, Plesk, and others).

This new version of Centova Cast is a major release with far too many features to list. Major new features include:

• Support for account templates to quickly create pre-configured accounts
• Added live listener statistics support
• Support for simultaneous use of ShoutCast and IceCast streams
• Google Maps integration to plot live listener locations
• Significant speed improvements to client area (particularly media library)
• Support for custom album covers (embedded in ID3 tags, and also folder.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg)

Less significant features include:

• Support for limiting general rotation playlists to a specific time of day
• Context menu support in media library (right-click on playlists/artists/albums/tracks)
• Support for editing artist/album/track titles from context menu in media library
• Support for importing M3U playlists
• Client E-mail notification upon account creation
• Added experimental sc_trans v2.0 support

This release also includes many new features not listed above -- refer to the official release announcement (with screenshots).

How can I import an m3u to Centova? I tried but when I push the Import m3u button in the Centova panel nothing happends. I tried with I.Explorer, Chrome and Firefox and nothing. Our current provider said that they have no answer from Centova about this. In fact contacting Centova is very difficult.

Somebody has discovered the way this can work? They say they allready made the arregments in their server to make it work but it dosent.

Importing an m3u is EXTREMLY important because playlist managger of Centova is very hard to use specially when you have large files in a playlist.
