Station Playlist Help/Reccomendations

First time posting and also looking forward to getting involved in the radio community.

I've been listening to radio for many many years and have tons of shows and favorites I listen to daily. Plus an exhaustive list written down of the tons of favorite songs that have played over the years.

I have been using RarmaRadio for several years for listening my favorite channels on a time schedule basis in the House. I am on the go alot and used to run WinAMP/Shoutcast server to basically pickup my audio from my soundcard and basically sending it to Shoutcast. But running all 3 applications just sometimes rendered the entire computer to freeze or in some cases WinAMP and Shoutcast were just not reliable while RarmaRadio ran for weeks or even months without issue or interaction with the program. The other disadvantage was No Text information on my phones Side and I can't simply play my own music. (Although playing my own music is not a requirement)

I discovered StationPlaylist and downloaded the free versions to "Try out". Sending an email to the owners of StationPlaylist asking for help to get an idea how to work the program was impossible as I never got a response. I get that I have to BUY the software for support. But before doing that. I have been trying to use the software just to simply see what I can get to work before I finally put the hammer down and say "Buying the product".
My Main goals are as follows:
Schedule Favorite Radio Stations for different times of day.
Send audio to a remote Icecast or Shoutcast Server
Relay Metadata Text to the Desired Server to find out what is playing rather then looking online at each radio station.

In the future when I have more time to, I would like to play some of my tracks I have during open timeslots-however this is not my biggest priority at the moment.


Would there be anyone who is willing to guide me how to use the software or has experience with StationPlaylist? Obviously I can't run on the demo versions forever but if someone is much more familiar with the software. Any input/comments would be great.

Wait- You want to record and effectively re-stream radio station streams? if so, then no, you can't do that. You could record station streams and delay it for local listening, but streaming it again so you could listen to the list remotely violates several rules.

I am not really interested in Recording each station and wasnt aware that Station Playlist could even do that. Restreaming it for commercial profit would likely yes violate rules. Under personal use when your traveling down the highway/road would probably be better then playing with the phone changing channels (aka Distracted driving) at the end of each show. When really the goal was to avoid having to interact with my phone. Not to mention, was also doing research to see if encription was an option to prevent unauthorized listening.
 
Have you tried ZaraRadio Free Edition?
It's actually pretty good automation software and it doesn't use a lot of computer resources.

Just downloaded/installed the free edition to see what it offers, seems relatively simple to use. Checked the outputs to see if I can connect to a remote server (Such as Shoutcast or Icecast) and never appeard to list that option. Which puts everything to a hault if I don't see that option. (It's somewhat a Minimum)
