In looking at this software, it seems like it will fit my needs, but I thought I would ask before I try it: I listen to a wifi radio at night (ccrane model), but want to add my own stations. For example, there is a Neil Degrasse Tyson station that plays older episodes and Art Bell has one (that are obviously not live), but they are stations on the Internet that I can play from from my wifi player. For example, I would like to download 100 podcasts of a blogger and then have station1 be a random stream of all of their shows. I can imagine that I have a few stations of my favorite bloggers. Automatic downloading of RSS would be nice, but I can download manually if needed. Ideally if a stream has 0 listeners, it isn't using up my wifi bandwidth (I'll host a local home server) and only starts streaming once a connection connects. I will be the only one listening. Thoughts? Thanks!

If anyone would find a way to stream from beyond the grave - it would be Art.

I don’t believe in ghosts, ufos, demons, etc but I do enjoy listening to the podcast that has all his old shows.

I agree completely. Listing to Art Bell as an adolescent likely factors into why I’m a skeptic today. I went deep down the rabbit hole in the early dial-up days thanks to Art’s inspiration.

I never found anything truly convincing.
