lithiumhosting looks great, I will definitely give that a try!
About what software to use, I can figure that out, I'll do it quite low-key and maybe if I feel like it eventually patch my own sollution together. Soundboards are a definite must!

Friend of Kim
<p>I am trying to figure out how to put a live radio player in a website, for broadcasting from my home studio. I also want to open it up so other people can also broadcast to the website from their homes with minimal setup (maybe through skype?). Not massive amounts of people - it will be just a friends thing to start with. Other features I'd like to implement are being able to switch between live broadcast mode and playing files hosted on the server (or elsewhere, e.g Soundcloud), as well as live broadcasts being automatically recorded and made available for downloading. </p>

<p>I don't know if there's anything out there that does all of that, even though it seems a fairly standard set of requirements, but if there isn't I'd also like to ask for suggestions of how I could piece all this together, since I've no idea how live audio works!
If there really is nothing like that, maybe I could start an open source project and make it happen. </p>
