More thoughts. You don't have to write complicated scripts to get custom
behavior. You mentioned you want to play a jingle for every X songs.
Liquidsoap can do that.
You can define a jingle source, and a song source and tell Liquidsoap how to
balance between those sources. Each of those sources can choose cal a script
that pulls meta data from a data base. So you can let Liquidsoap balance
between categories, but rely on your scripts to know if a certain jingle
should be played because the last track played (or next one to be played)
was a special one.
