That sounds like a great project, good luck with it! > One > thing I am concerned about is what to do when one of these instances dies > for some reason.

I do not think that we currently have any simple way to record liquidsoap's current state, so you may have to indeed keep track of the state on your own in case of a crash. This is, however, an interesting feature. I do not know how feasible/easy it is, for instance all temporary files would have to be downloaded again, but it is certainly worth thinking of..
