Icecream is a download utility designed for non-interactive streaming tasks. It allows users to download and save media files from various websites easily.
Furthermore, the software includes an option that allows it to save the stream into separate files, with each file representing a different track that is played. To further add to its functionality, it is also possible to tee the input to both disk and stdout.
The latest release of the software includes several updates, including the ability to parse .m3u playlists that start with a comment. Additionally, the software has addressed common issues such as wrong requests to servers and strange 404 errors and 302 redirects.
The software now also supports direct stream URLs and can save anonymous streams with a pattern filename. .ogg streams can also be saved with their appropriate extension. It is worth noting that the software has the ability to split into tracks and label them at the same time—while also sharing content with stdout.
Some minor fixes and improvements have also been made, including correcting the name of the user agent option, which was initially referred to as '--useragent.' The software now boasts a new description and example in its man page to supplement its functionality further.
