From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the streaming audio software. For the MIDI sequencer, see MusE.

MuSE is an acronym that stands for Multiple Streaming Engine.

MuSE provides the free software community with a user friendly but powerful tool for network audio streaming, making life easier for independent free speech online radios.

MuSE is a GNU/Linux based application for the mixing, encoding, and network streaming of sound: it can mix up to 6 encoded audio bitstreams (from files or network, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis) plus a sound card input signal, the resulting stream can be played locally on the sound card and/or encoded at different bitrates, recorded to hard disk and/or streamed to the net. When sent to a server, the resulting audio can be listened through the net by a vast number of players available on different operating systems.

To be operated MuSE offers graphical interfaces and a documented command line interface.
