Playing streaming music online is not worth the trouble.
Now if he wanted to do a podcast that might be different.

Proper and thorough research - that is what I am doing. Thanks for all the stern warnings
Assumptions:
"You have a very limited perception of how difficult..."
"You have a fun idea without realizing you have to be legal with the music..."
"To do it your way.. .its called a pirate-radio station..."
"I think.. .you didn't. Please research."
That's a lot of assumptions.
I have taken zero action in setting up a station. I was simply looking to others to share their experience in doing so.
Wow!
