  • AzuraCast: A Simple, Self-Hosted Web Radio Management Suite
    I'm using icecast2 for that. The only downsides are that it does only mp3s and sometimes it goes mute after a track ends. A short silent transition track should workaround the latter problem but I never managed to make it work. I configured a hotkey to restart VLC on my laptop instead. https://icecast.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
