Icecast VS AzuraCast

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.

My impression is that people use Icecast for this.

Yeah, if you have an old Raspberry Pi collecting dust or something like that, icecast will work great.

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.

I don't have any experience with it, but it looks like AzuraCast does what you want.

I've used AzureCast - https://www.azuracast.com/ - super simple to stand up and run - you can run multiple radio stations with it.

It’s also worth looking into RadioDj or Azuracast for solid, less complex alternatives. I might be switching back to RadioDj since it’s a tad bit easier to queue up songs.

Okay yeah so this is all wrong. I'm using this as reference for an example docker compose file.

Take a look at AzuraCast. This seems very suited to your need

Azuracast perhaps?

Azuracast. Not quite as powerful but much easier to run. Also Linux, although you can tinker to get it running under Windows. It would run well in a cloud host like Linode or Digital Ocean, which might mean you don’t need a relay service like Alon depending on how many listeners you have. You can also host it at home of course.
