    Hi everyone,

    I'm a complete Linux noob, anyway I just installed and configured successfully Airtime on Ubuntu 14.04.
    It seems to works, but I created this discussion to know how many people are using Airtime 2.5 now in 2017, after 3 years since the release.

    Do you think is it actually "usable" in a collaborative work-flow, by remote users? the Soundcloud integration works well? Are you running a radio station with it?

    I'd like to create an airtime station here in Italy with other students for promoting science.

    Thanks!

    Ciao, Ivan,

    si, it's a good tool.

    Airtime covers your project I believe.

    It has a good collaborative work-flow.
    You just create users and let them broadcast their shows.
    Soundcloud integration does work (obviously, otherwise it wouldn't be there, right? =D)

    I have a station, but it's deprecated. I have the 1.9.5 version and cannot upgrade by now.
    I plan to reinstall it later.

    Go for it.  I installed a radio stream and love it.  Although right now I'm seeing why the server is spiking in bandwidth and causing skips with only a few listeners.

    Thank you guys, this is a good news!

    Do you have your own server or paying for a dedicated hosting solution?

    I ran into problems trying with the latest Debian. I had a few false starts, finger trouble I think. I had to install the mp3 modules from wheezy. Postgresql did not seem to get installed. I suspect that multiple iterations thru a partial install was the problem.

    To be safe I then used the supported ( backlevel ) Ubuntu distro. I followed the documentation. This worked, so I know that the process works.

    I am going to try again with a base metal box and Debian, just for grins...

    I plan to run on a dedicated box, so I do not have problem with a backlevel distro. But it would be nice to stay current
