Almost anything can play a random song from your collection; but; you have some conditions you want to place on the play out process.<o:p></o:p></p><p>I recommend a program called Rivendell which is free and will do everything you want.<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="http://static.paravelsystems.com/rivendell-install-rd3/rivendell-install-rhel7.html">http://static.paravelsystems.com/rivendell-install-rd3/rivendell-install-rhel7.html</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>There is a FB group and a mailing list and a Wiki.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The Rivendell system includes a stream creation program which will output mp3 or AAC+ or you can output the audio to a mixer and route that to a computer running darkice or whatever. <o:p></o:p></p><p>You will need a computer running Icecast2 and I recommend you do not try and run it on the same computer as Rivendell.<o:p></o:p></p><p>You can build Icecast2 on Ubuntu Server on almost anything.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you want someone to be able to request a song 'on-line', something I caution you against, you can create web page code in perl or python which will achieve that. <o:p></o:p></p><p>All music is normalised to the same level which you have full control over. Big subject. Too big for here. You can install some dynamic processing. <o:p></o:p></p><p>You import your music, set up events to play it with separation rules. Put the events into clocks where you can add more selection rules.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Your home broadband will not support too many listeners. Depending on how much choke your ISP puts on your service; and they all do; you might get 3 or 4 reliable simultaneous connects so you will need a streaming service. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Depending where there are plenty of options. You get what you pay for.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Have fun.<o:p></o:p></p><p>regards<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>Robert<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 20/03/20 4:39 am, Konrad Kostecki wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hi all!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you for having me.

However, I'm confused regarding source clients available - Liquidsoap, butt, MPD, DarkIce, DeeFuzzer, Ezstream (at least I find these projects as quite active) - I have no experience with them and I can't really find useful opinions. Can you tell which of them could be best for described vision? I'd appreciate if you could recommend me any way I could follow, which specific software components I would possibly need to integrate.
