<p>Hi Kokos</p>
<p>The first thing you need is a music play out system. Almost
anything can play a random song from your collection; but; you
have some conditions you want to place on the play out process.</p>
<p>I recommend a program called Rivendell which is free and will do
everything you want.</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></p>
<p>There is a FB group and a mailing list and a Wiki.</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. <br>
</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.</p>
<p>You can build Icecast2 on Ubuntu Server on almost anything.<br>
</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. <br>
</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. <br>
</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.</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. <br>
</p>
<p>Depending where there are plenty of options. You get what you pay
for.</p>
<p>Have fun.</p>
<p>regards</p>
<p><br>

<div>Hi all!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for having me. I'm a person who encourage a small
local community for musical involvement. It already kinda
worked, we are doing plenty of fantastic things together.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I am now thinking of is 24/7 Internet radio based on
Icecast that will air all of their non-professional music I
gathered. Functions I'm looking for:</div>
<div>- frequent scanning of music directory to update music
library for dynamic playlist building<br>
</div>
<div>- to shuffle music on playlist fairly to not have same
artist played two or more times in a row, so all artists could
have a chance to be aired equally<br>
</div>
<div>- from web perspective to have possibility for end-users to
select songs which will be played next</div>
<div>- replaygain support (radio mode, not album mode)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for any easy/ready
solution, maybe I'm not a coder but I can at least try to
script something in bash or Python. 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. Even brief
information will do!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks! Stay healthy!<br>
