halo_radio is a python library for a mp3 radio station. Included is a cgi web front-end for controlling the radio stations content. also, a backend streamer for re-encoding mp3's.

The system tracks requests and kills to auto generate playlists for random song selection.

HaloRadio makes use of existing software to provide some parts of its features and functionality. For example the transport of mp3s is provided by Icecast and the backed database is provided by MySQL.

There are quite a few prerequisite applications to be installed before your streaming radio station is fully operational. While the author would like to provide installation and configuration help for all the software used in this project these issues are extensively covered by their respective maintainers.
