Could you build this?
Partial The front-end and subscription paywall are simple, but managing a continuous shared live radio stream alongside fractional, per-play royalty payouts to artists requires non-trivial infrastructure.
What it would actually take: Built with Next.js, Stripe Subscriptions, and an audio streaming server like Icecast, AzuraCast, or HLS broadcasting. The difficult components are managing continuous, synchronized live audio streaming with low latency and building a transparent, auditable accounting system to track per-second stream plays and distribute micro-payouts to artists.
