A bunch of us in Hebden Bridge are going to be playing with streaming 
audio (AKA a "radio station") and I just wanted a bit of advice.

We can do all the low level technical stuff (icecast etc. etc.), but 
would like some advice on the practial scheduling database side of things.

We want something simple, so I've intially had a look at Lowlive - it's 
all Perl and looks like it can be hacked about to add the bits and pieces 
we need.

But, has anyone else got any sort of suggestions for other schedulers we 
could look at which are based around individual programme scheduling 
rather than playing a load of mp3 or regulary timed "events" ?
 
Maybe something which autogenerates a calender based on the scheduling.

It has to be web based, as there will be multiple people with access to 
this thing remotely.

Sort of the same line, but what about archive managers - we'd like 
something which just takes the last programme broadcast, puts it to the 
top of the list on a webpage with a "listen again" button and carries on 
infinitum.

What do people use for primary website management ? Standard CMS with a 
forum type plugin and plugins for the archive etc. ?

Any advice greatly received.
