  I’ve only been playing with it today, but I reckon Azuracast ought to tick all of your boxes.

  I’ve pointed it at the drive that holds my Navidrome library. Once it’s finished sorting through all 14,500 tracks, I can then sort them all into various different playlists to do more or less the same as you’re looking to do.

  Just today I installed Azuracast on my server, pointed it at my Navidrome library, and now I have my own radio station. Once it’s all configured I’ll hook into it from my laptop for my weekly show using Icecast, which I’m really forward to doing. Because I’m cool.

  For me it’s the constant notifications I get from DAVx5 telling me that it can’t connect to my Nextcloud server.

  My company recently switched out all of it’s older Dell for newer ones that are capable of running Win11 (because existence is pain). As a result, I now have three Dell micro PCs two of which are on DDR4, one is DDR3. All of which cost me nothing.

  I’ve already put Proxmox and OpenWRT on one and shitcanned the crappy Linksys my ISP gave me, and am about to put another into service as my home server. The third one has yet to reveal its use to me, but it’ll come.

  I currently have eight computers of various specs, sizes and configurations, and am happy to rehouse a bunch more.

  Fair play though, it is pretty funny that they let DBrand spend all that money first.

  My wife uses her Steam Controller for playing games on the sofa via Steam Link on our Apple TV. It’s perfect for it.

  I was merrily listening to Apple Music via WinApps the other day, when the Windows guest threw up a notification that it hadn’t found any malware. Literally no way to dismiss it without quitting out of any WinApps I had open.

  Good old Windows.

  I have WinApps running on the little Dell PC I have at work. It’s only an i3 with 8Gb RAM, but it’s ok with Apple Music and MS Office apps. I wouldn’t want to seriously run any games through it, mind.
