CLI radio players?

[contained]

Are there more command line radio players like tera and pyradio?
Edit: I've tried pianobar in the past, but recently it fails to authenticate, so it doesn't work.

I'm using cmus with my own .m3u

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install cmus
man cmus
man cmus-remote

also another ncurses based player, moc, start it with mocp

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install moc
mocp

Very cool, thanks.

I've been using MoC (Music on Console) for many years, but I've never known you can browse radio stations like that; how did you pull that off? That's awesome. Perhaps it's a feature in a new release. Which version are you using? Mine's 2.6-alpha3, which, from looking on the website, looks to be the latest development release, so I presumably have this feature. I couldn't find anything about 'radio' in the man page, or anything which suggests a way to browse the stations like in your image. I wrote a custom theme and have a bunch of custom settings I've used for years, so perhaps that's blocking something.

it is 1:2.6.0~svn-r3005-1 from Ubuntu universe repository, not updated since bionic.
Still it is not the feature but playing .m3u with a list of radiostreams. My private list includes 250 stations but you can take a longer one from VLC ice-cast directory.

Oooh, I did suspect that in the back of my mind, but your list looked so 'legit', like it was part of the program. Nicely done. Thanks for explaining. I'll have to hunt down some good .m3u files. I can't believe I've gone all these years not knowing about this awesome feature! I even wrote a super-basic tool to play a radio station I like, via MPlayer.

Ah, looking at your image again, you have the Playlist pane! No wonder it looked alien to me. This is what mine has looked like for years:

Sorry for the blurriness; it's a squished mostly-fullscreen image to save faffing about with some image-sharing website. It's a bit better when clicked.
