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 :

  1. able to listen via web browser (android app would be a bonus but not required)
  2. able to lock it down so only people with the password can listen (me and other half in UK and brother in Australia)
  3. ) a generic login so people without the password do not know what it is or what its for
  4. option to set playlists and / or random via genre over specific time periods

Thanks in advance.

I've heard MusicAssistant can now do radio stations and using (local) AI to generate a DJ that will announce the song and some other neat tricks. I haven't used it in a while. Check out SmartHomeSolver (Reed) on YT, he had a video on it.
