Apologies if this has been asked before however after some searching I’ve found several posts / articles here in Lemmy (plus generally around via web searches). Some of the posts are dated however so want to see what the most ‘up to date’ suggestions are.
I have spare hardware so this is more a software query.
I want to run my own private radio station where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work. Nothing special and it doesnt need bells and whistles however at minimum :
- able to listen via web browser (android app would be a bonus but not required)
- able to lock it down so only people with the password can listen (me and other half in UK and brother in Australia)
- ) a generic login so people without the password do not know what it is or what its for
- option to set playlists and / or random via genre over specific time periods
Thanks in advance.
i do this with navidrome and snapcast. navidrome for the smart playlists, snapcast to make it available anywhere.
vpn back home and my car is part of House Audio
snapcast can route external players in as well and sling it over the network. pretty cool
