Linux
Not maintained, but I did get it to work on Ubuntu once. Music Caster is not straight forward to package, so you can invoke a sudo-free install script.
mkdir -p ~/bin && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/elibroftw/music-caster.git ~/bin/music-caster
cd ~/bin/music-caster
./linux_install.sh # use sudo for non-interactive install in case a dependency needs to be installed
In addition, I collect MD5 hashed MAC addresses and IP addresses in a Google Excel Sheet.
Only I have access to this data, I will NEVER give it to anyone else. Will stop collecting analytics once I stop caring about the number of users.
Hashed MAC so that I know how many users without knowing the actual MAC addresses
IP because I can map out the IPs to a visual map to see where my users are located
