As much as I know Spotify isn't great for artists, I do find it to be the best streaming option for how I enjoy music. Next to Winamp of course.

I wish Winamp was on Android so I could use it on my phone, too. Especially if it had Milkdrop Visualizer.

I used to host my own Shoutcast. Full on DJ cosplay, like it was FM radio. ๐Ÿคฃ

That's what I did for my wedding - shoutcast with a requests plugin so the wedding party and guests could choose what songs to play.
