gollark: Oh hey, the song changed.
gollark: It's just a streaming server, so I'd have to have another thing (... probably mpd too) forwarding audio to icecast anyway.
gollark: Icecast is more industry-standard-y, but it was also annoying to work with and mpd pretty much works ish.
gollark: mpd and ympd are open source, the frontend can be downloaded trivially (you can, I'll allow it), and the five lines of code are five lines of code.
