How open source does it have to be? And why?

We have the software you describe, it's called Radio UserLand. It's far more
than you're expecting, actually. Mac and Windows. Easy to use. High powered.
Highly programmable. Lots of source, but not open source.

I'm working on the marketing site this week.

It's a lot of fun!
