Personnel
gollark: If you want to run an OIR-like "internet radio" station, it's quite easy nowadays.
gollark: The HTTPd thing is just a MPD output feature.
gollark: Music Player Daemon, HTTP output, a web-based MPD client thing.
gollark: <@319753218592866315> OIR is literally just mpd with httpd output running on my music library, with ympd for management, and a simple HTML frontend connected to a simple API which accesses MPD.
gollark: It's just a bunch of off the shelf software glued together, plus the custom-written really simple frontend and API.
