hi all! Just a message to thank you for the precious information. Basspistol is now running a similar setup as Ken Restivo's Spaz.org, with liquidsoap (except for the "now playing" that i let a side for now since i lack fundamental pieces of comprehension about JSON... :P ) Shout out to Joe Hartley for sharing his delicious script and teaching me the word (and feeling) of "Nerdvana". Basspistol is a 99.9% libre music syndicate (there is probably an uncleared sample here and there.) While i know its selection won't please everybody, i invite you to give it a shot! http://basspistol.com Peace, love and comprehension, Set H.

So it's basically posting the now-playing to the webserver, which is then serving it up via AJAX using the Javascript you saw. > > Yes, these guys are very much interested in open source audio, if anyone wants to DJ a show for them. I've helped a couple of them get linux running on their laptops now, and one of them found an old MOTU interface laying around, which just screams to be plugged into a Linux PC running Ardour. > > -ken > -- > ------- > On Mon, May 06, 2013 at 02:23:15PM +0200, Set Hallstrom wrote: >> Sweet! >> We run a similar setup for our music syndicate, with MPD playing while >> no liveshow is up.
