Our streaming devices have changed frequently (most recently just
Winamp on an AV station), but with our move in progress, I'd like to
integrate the music player into a web-based info 'dashboard' that's
running locally on a Linux VM (the actual playing would be handled
by the same RasPi that runs our webcam feed). <br>

SomaFM is a major staple for background tunage at Kwartzlab.<br>

<div style="">I wanted to shout out to this list to get an idea
of what other hackerspaces are using as a streaming music
solution. What I would like to do is setup a linux box
exclusive to our LAN to stream open, DRM-free music in our
space. Freeside is a proponent of open and free software, so
it would be cool to continue practicing that fine tradition. </div>

<div style="">I saw this on hack-a-day: </div>

<div style=""><br>
</div>
<div style="">...and I was inspired to hack together something
similar, but instead of Pandora (and ads, and/or potential
broadcasting legal issues, and/or spending money just on
principle) instead populate the source music with free tunes,
or connect to existing free music.</div>

<div style="">I found a couple of great sources for music:</div>

<div style="">Libre.fm runs off gnu-fm, so I dug into the gnu-fm
code a little:</div>

<div style="">I'll be going through the install process to see
if that setup works for us, but in the mean time, what have
some of the other hackerspaces in the world done for streaming
music?</div>
