Personal radio station (feddit.uk)

Apologies if this has been asked before however after some searching I've found several posts / articles here in Lemmy (plus generally around via web searches). Some of the posts are dated however so want to see what the most 'up to date' suggestions are.

I have spare hardware so this is more a software query.

I want to run my own private radio station where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work. Nothing special and it doesnt need bells and whistles however at minimum :

able to listen via web browser (android app would be a bonus but not required)
able to lock it down so only people with the password can listen (me and other half in UK and brother in Australia)
) a generic login so people without the password do not know what it is or what its for
option to set playlists and / or random via genre over specific time periods

Thanks in advance.

where I can listen to my music while on the move and at work.

You copy the files on your mp3 player and hit shuffle. Vlc has this feature for android.

The reason radio exists is so you can hear curated music without buying it first. With a self hosted solution you get none of the pros with all of the responsibilities you get.

Valid answer and I can see where you are coming from however this does not cover item two in my list (other family members)
