   Azuracast is Gold

   I used Centova cast before switching to Azuracast and all I can say is that this software is worth praise and efforts to better it. It offers everything Centova does and even goes and extra mile. The dashboard is pretty straightforward and my playlists always play. One needs to really know what they are doing setting up schedules and tweaking liquidsoap settings. Live broadcasts are seamless too. I use BUTT/ Sam Broadcaster/Radio Dj. And to imagine that this is all open source... major respect to the developers. 5 * from me.

   🏁 Competitors: Centova Cast, RadioBOSS, RadioKing, Citrus3, SHOUTcast Radio

   👍 Pros:    Stable song request feature|Offers https streaming|Web dj software. (no need for encorders)|More functionalities|It's free!|Integrates with other encorders,|Easy to swap btwn icecast and shoutcast

   👎 Cons:    Open source. (support is on github and may be too techie for people)|Applying too much playlists settings may disrupt playlist|Listener maps not 100% accurate

   It is the Worst

   Nothing Works. The edit function does not work. The fade in and fade out function is non existent. The Playlists and scheduled shows never happen. It is honest a total crap shoot as to what works and what does not using this awful program. I cannot believe it is legal to resell it. Its mind blowing how bad it is and its because its a crap shoot as to what works or not.

• Advice needed for my own music/radio server.

  Recently tried azuracast to do something similar yo what you did. I have it running as a docker on my raspberrry pi and it streams music on my local network accessible on any device. I believe it can be used to run an actual radio station live but I havent dug that deep into it yet. I followed these instructions mixed with some instructions from their site to spin up their docker.... Source: almost 2 years ago
