Cool Mic

Cool Mic is an open-source Android application for sending audio to an Icecast server as a live source. It is intended for mobile users who want to operate an Icecast audio source without relying on a desktop computer. The app supports the patent-free Ogg/Opus and Ogg/Vorbis audio formats. In the Video & Media Players category, it focuses on mobile audio broadcasting and stream control.

Users can adjust codec quality, select either one audio channel for mono or two for stereo, and choose a sample rate of 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 44100, or 48000 Hz. Connection settings include the server address and port together with the Icecast source username. Stream metadata fields can be configured with details such as the title and artist. During a broadcast, the app provides an input gain control, a graphical VU meter with an adjustable update interval, a broadcast timer, and current and peak listener counts. It can reconnect automatically, keep the screen and Wi-Fi awake while streaming, share the livestream URL, configure a connection from a QR code, and provide a predefined Cool Mic Test Server setup for basic testing.

Cool Mic brings connection, audio, metadata, and monitoring controls together on an Android device. Its mobile format suits users who need to manage an Icecast audio source away from a desktop computer.
