<h2>Why MusicMuster?<a class="headerlink" href="#why-musicmuster" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>In January 2022 I started my show on <cite>Mixcloud
|
||
<https://www.mixcloud.com/KeithsMusicBox/></cite>. Until then, my show had
|
||
been on an internet radio station which required me to use a Windows
|
||
playout system. As I only use Linux, I had to set up a Windows PC
|
||
specifically for that purpose. The system I had to use had what I felt
|
||
were shortcomings in various areas.</p>
|
||
<p>Once I moved to Mixcloud I searched for a Linux equivalent that didn’t
|
||
have the same shortcomings but was unable to find one that met my
|
||
criteria. I decided to see how practical it would be to write my own,
|
||
and MusicMuster was born.</p>

<h2>What is MusicMuster?<a class="headerlink" href="#what-is-musicmuster" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>It is a Linux-based music player. Whilst it could be used as a general
|
||
home music player, there are much better applications for that role.
|
||
<strong>MusicMuster</strong> has been specifically designed to support the
|
||
production of live internet radio shows.</p>

<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
|

<p>MusicMuster has only been tested on Debian 12, “Bookworm”;
|

however, it should run on most contemporary Linux systems.</p>
|

</div>
|

<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="installation.html"><span class="doc">Installation</span></a> page explains how to build MusicMuster in its
|

own environment which will automatcally install all requirements
|
||
except the database. The current version of MusicMuster uses MariaDB
|
||
version 10.11; however, any recent version of MariaDB should suffice.</p>
|
||
<p>MusicMuster is a Python 3 application and requires Python 3.8 or

later.</p>
