Circling back to this as some of the folks/projects talking here have overlapping goals.
LibreTime has a couple issues in the queue -
Radio Station plugin for WordPress has a few related to audio players -
OpenProducer platform for radio stations and podcasters would like to bridge these together -
Assuming all these features could be provided by Radio Station + LibreTime (once there’s an API), we can direct resources towards development with a bounty, paid beta and/or series of hackathons directed towards radio stations and podcasters.
Would be great if we could bring all involved contributors together in the #openproducer channel in https://slack.opencollective.com/
