Hi all,
Great software, I've only just started testing it, but the functionality so far is really good!
I'm helping a small community radio station, DunoonCommunityRadio.org, improve their current setup (iTunes basically...and a mixer desk etc).
I've decided on Vortexbox.org, as a method for all the various DJ's and the station manager, to rip their collections to a central storage resource (they currently bring in their own laptops and jack in to the mixer). The reason for choosing Vortexbox, is because it features auto-ripping and tagging. I also considered joining together various programs like, cdparanoia, ripit, musicbrainz python script and a bash script to poll for when a CD was inserted, but thought that might be too much effort (maybe not).
Anyhow, Vortexbox is built on Fedora Core 14. I did try getting Airtime to install on this distribution, but fell at the first hurdle. I couldn't get daemontools working, or ecasound. I gave up at this point.
Does anyone have any experience getting Airtime installed on Fedora?
There is 'apt' for Fedora, but it doesn't seem to have been updated in long while. Does anyone know if that would work?
To sum up, I'd like the following functionality on one box:
auto rip and tag cd's
airtime
streaming to an icecast server (implemented)
broadcasting from a radio antenna (implemented)
Thanks to all for any contributions![Smile]()
