Ask HN: How to start an online radio (for cheap)?

4 points by isoos 3y ago ↗ HN

I'd be interested to learn more about hosting, creating and managing an online (+ maybe archives). Where does one start? Which software (hopefully open source) and which services could be used?

I came across https://www.azuracast.com/ so far, which seems to be a nice starting point, but what else is out there to look into?

Be careful, the music cartels are very aggressive in their pursuit of licensing fees.

It's a shame that what used to just be a background sound has become a minefield on the internet.

Not every radio is about music, but yeah, it is a good point to double-check free to use music licenses.
