Liquidsoap is great, it's exactly what I've been searching for, for many years. I was using Winamp on Windows for years but it was just buggy and a resource hog. I tried a few other solutions, but nothing worked well. Then I found Liquidsoap and it's perfect. I now run about 30 radio streams from my 1gbit home internet connection. I run Liquidsoap (and shoutcast server) in a single Ubuntu VM, it takes very little resources. I have not had one problem with buffering or any other streaming issue since switching to Liquidsoap. These streams are all for personal use (and for friends). I serve several channels each of several different music genres, so it's always easy to tune in to music we love. If one channel isn't what we're in the mood for, we switch to another channel. It's been a game-changer for our quality of life where entertainment is concerned. We have about 1TB of mp3s in the collection, so it's quite a lot of music. And Liquidsoap has made it fairly easy to do. Once I got one station working, it was easy to duplicate it until we had about 30 stations streaming. I haven't even begun to tap the potential of what it can do, but it serves us really well for what we need. |
