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

Very cool, if you want to go even further with this. You could integrate this using Icecast[1] with Liquidsoap[2] to have a more expansive schedule. 1 = https://icecast.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
