  Icecast cannot do that natively ? It seems I read something about somewhere....

  Dear azuracast. I'm happy for your software and I would like to suggest intro file for streams (like radio intros/ads) before the broadcast.

  "introfile option" (suggested by Daniel Vega on 2019-07-03), including upvotes (4) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  This can be set in Icecast config by specifying the path to an audio in the <intro> tag of a <mount> section.
  http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#mountsettings
  
  Read the docs: it specifies that the intro file needs to have the exact same encoding as the corresponding mountpoint.
  
  I tried modifying /var/azuracast/stations/<station>/icecast.xml. The problem is that AzuraCast overwrites it everytime it restarts Icecast. Any way to tweak it from inside AzuraCast ?

  Solution:
  - Edit /var/azuracast/docker-compose.override.yml (as described here: https://www.azuracast.com/help/faq_docker.html#using-a-custom-default-track) to map you into file to Icecast's <webroot> (inside /usr/local/share/icecast/web)
  - Add this line of JSON to Mount Points > Edit > Custom Frontend Configuration (make the filename/path match your mapping) : { "intro" : "intro.mp3" }
  - Icecast will look for <webroot>/<intro>, in this case : /usr/local/share/icecast/web/intro.mp3

  When someone play the radio, play a song from this playlist first.

  That feature could be in "Edit Station" as: "Stream Intro File", and to enable an option to upload this audio file.
  I love you azura.

  This can be done in liquidsoap so why not Azura?
