  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.

  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?

  We have embeds using on our site. When someone enters site and the embed loads the first time (when user starts playing the audio for the first time), we would like to have a default audio of 3-4 seconds, saying:
  
  "Welcome to our radio XYZ".
  
  Also, depending on which session it is, we want to have an audio designated as if that happens within 16:00-18:00, then it should play another audio (which says "Currently you are listening to the XYZ session ")

  Hi, dear azuracast. I found amazing this part of adding an intro file and now it's available touching the docker-compose-override. My suggestion refers to adding an intro file from the panel rather than going to the ssh console. In other words, you can upload the intro file from the panel and set it as an intro with just a simple button or box-check rather than going to the console.
  Thanks

  As of the current Rolling Release version, you can now directly upload an intro for any mount point via the edit dialog for that mount point inside the web UI. No extra configuration or Docker mounts are required.

  Awesome update Buster! Wondering if we could take this one step further and have the pre-roll pull from a playlist please. Wanting to make a "cart" of different short pre-rolls and have them rotate.
  
  Thanks

  Is it possible to have this for the main Radio besides the Mount point?
