After using VLC for over 15 years, I decided to explore a little more. I had no clue that it comes with thousands of internet radio stations on Icecast, as well as the ability to add all your podcasts into it (just need to find the link to your podcasts hosting service). I no longer use any streaming services (to me, they are criminal, plus they're full of ads and generally getting worse and more expensive every day)

Just wanted to let anyone know who may not know how much VLC can do!

Icecast is awesome and I wish more people knew about it. I much prefer it to things like Spotify.

And yeah, VLC can do anything. It could probably make me an iced coffee if I looked through the settings. Something cool I also discovered is that it can do iptv, which lets you stream TV shows.
