There's probably an explanation.

What you need instead is to use a queue: feed it with the playlist files, start it, and then you can switch back to default playlist when it completes. There's a ready-made solution that does just that, it's called playlist.once() and it may suit your needs. > Finally, I@m not sure if this would be possible at all, but if I > connected to the same mountpoint as Liquidsoap is using, is their any > way to crossfade my source into the stream, and then when I > disconnect, for Liquidsoap to continue playing music? It's possible but icecast alone won't do it. You need to use liquidsoap as a proxy for that: your new source will connect to it using harbor, then you can use all sort of transitions, smooth_add(), etc. within liquidsoap, before emitting to icecast. So, if I understand correctly, your setup would be something like: have one liquidsoap script with a harbor input, say mount "live", and an icecast output on mount "radio". It always streams to "radio". Most of the time it streams the playlists, but when it gets an incoming stream on live it switches to it with a transition.
