I know some low budget radio stations use winamp to output their playlists, mostly because of the shoutcast plugin. It's crazy, but it kinda works.



They might find idjc really helpful.

I've checked it out and run it on various things. It might be a better choice, but pretty much only because it's current and maintained.

The use case is a little different. IDJC has a lot of features for live DJs who are doing stuff. If you just want to run a playlist, winamp is actually a little more usable, and the shoutcast plugin also streams your audio input device. Our live DJs just press pause and do their thing with records and CDs, then they kick the playlist back on when they finish. For remote broadcasting, we just use BUTT. IMO, both BUTT and Winamp are easier than IDJC for most volunteer DJs

I'm a tech volunteer for our local LP-FM station.
