2023-09-20 AuraGem Music Public Radio Updates

AuraGem Music's Public Radio now has multiple stations! There are 4 different stations: Diverse, Mainstream, Classical, and Non-mainstream.

AuraGem Music: Public Radio

Diverse will play all of the genres at specific time slots.
Mainstream will play mainstream genres, like Pop, Rock, Acoustic, Cinematic, and World.
Classical will play Classical as well as Classical-adjacent genres like Jazz, Blues, and Calm Piano.
Non-mainstream will play Electronic, Lofi, Ambient, and Rock.

These classifications could change in the future. If you have any suggestions on where you think a particular genre should belong, I'm happy to hear!

I have also created schedules for each station which can be seen on their respective Station pages. There is a little bit of overlap between the schedules of some of the stations (particularly the diverse station). These will be reassesed and fixed over time.

Other updates:

Updated info on supported clients: added diohsc as a supported client, noted that Lagrange AppImage is buggy, and Rosy Crow and Lagrange on iOS and Android are unsupported at this moment in time.
There's now a total counter for the number of connections to one of the stations, as well as counters for each respective station.
The radio stations should have much better randomization, and should be guaranteed to not repeat a song in a span of 4 songs (this will be increased later when the service has more music to play).
