Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is the same software but I installed
from http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Squeezebox_Server


I installed it on my laptop and tested it on a radio app on Android by
going to http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3 and I can change the stations
in the media server web controller.

Then I noticed there is a CLI tool to execute commands!
So now I know how to play a url via telnet.


Code:
--------------------
    
  telnet localhost 9090
  192.168.0.72 playlist play 
http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds107410%26partnerId%3D16
  
--------------------


And the radio station is automatically changed in the Android radio
app.
This is great stuff!

My mother 85 years old and cannot work with devices like iphones, ipads
or desktops.
I am thinking of the following interface. I can run the media server on
a linux server that can run 24/7.

Then I will use an Arduino with wifi and a keypad and some leds. Print
a list of stations on paper and then shen only needs to press the
station number and submit key. Maybe overkill, but I want the control
for her to be as simple as possible with less buttons as possible.
