Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Parminder, and for the last three months I've been building the radio station I always wanted. Streaming apps gave us infinite choice and somehow made music lonely. Everyone sits in their own algorithmic bubble. I missed radio: one broadcast, everyone hearing the same song at the same time, a voice between tracks that makes it feel alive. SUB/WAVE is that, self-hosted. Point it at your music library (Navidrome or any Subsonic server), give it an LLM (a local Ollama model is enough) and you get a 24/7 station: an AI DJ picks the tracks, does station idents, reads the time and weather, and takes song requests in plain language. People tune in from the web player, native iOS and Android apps, a desktop app, or anything that plays an MP3 stream, including Sonos and car radios. Some things I'm proud of: - It's radio, not a playlist. No skip button, no per-listener shuffle. You tune in and hear whatever's on. - Transitions are ending-aware. The DJ knows whether a song fades out or ends cold, and can even blend stems between tracks. - DJ personas, guest co-hosts with banter, and produced programmes with per-episode plans. - Everything can run locally: LLM via Ollama, local TTS, your own music files. No cloud required. - MIT licensed. 48 releases in three months, and it just hit 1.0 this week. There's a live demo station if you want to hear it before installing anything: https://www.getsubwave.com/listen I'd love to hear what you'd want from a station of your own. I'll be around all day answering questions.

Love the self-hosted angle and the AI DJ taking plain-language requests is a great touch. One thing I'd love: a "discover from my own library" mode where the DJ only pulls from tracks you haven't played in a while, so it actually helps you rediscover music instead of leaning on the same favorites.

It looks good, but a problem for me and for most people now i guess is that we don't store our music files, just use spotify or apple music

I probably wouldn’t replace Spotify with this, but I do like the idea of turning a personal music library into something that feels alive instead of just another playlist. The shared stream and local setup give it a character most music apps have lost. Congrats on the launch!
