First-gen Caruso systems still sound great, but T+A no longer offers a practical native internet-radio path, so everyday station browsing is broken.

Caruso-Reborn
Internet radio, brought back to first-gen T+A Caruso systems.
T+A dropped a usable internet-radio path for older Caruso units, so this turns your computer into a local UPnP/DLNA source: search stations on your laptop, save the ones that work, and browse them again from the Caruso — plus your own music folders.
A local Fastify and UPnP/DLNA bridge that announces itself as a media server, resolves real stream URLs from TuneIn and Radio Browser, and exposes saved stations and local music under the Caruso's own tree, with a web dashboard and a keyboard TUI control room.
The Caruso browses and plays stations again over the still-working local path — no replacement, no cloud.
For owners of a first-generation T+A Caruso whose built-in radio browsing stopped being usable.
