Radion can be customized as far as the station selecting program is concerned. The user can choose between:
- read
- fzf
- rofi
- dmenu
Update: Introduced new feature: customizing prompt text for fzf dmenu and rofi.
Update: MacOS support added now thanks to Andrea Schäfer
Also, I was forced by my daughter to add some anime radio stations...
Update: Recording functionality added, with the use of another (you guessed it) bash script
Also options in read as Preferred selector are also case insensitive.
Any feedback is appreciated!
In bash? Impressive!
My first thought every time I see a pure bash project: "wow" followed by "but... why".
I get that we have bash on most machines, reducing dependencies, all that jazz. But it's so painful to do anything nontrivial with it. There are so many small potential papercuts and edge cases, I'd rather pull my teeth out with a pair of pliers than code more than a simple script in it.
Everything is not pure bash here, it's a radio frontend for mpv. It is also using sed, awk... A standard bash use case actually.
My entire homelab env is written in "pure bash". Bare metal deployments, creation, build, deployment, update, and backup, of docker containers (which are also just convenience wrappers around other pure bash projects of mine.). Etc...
I do it because I got sick of losing data, work, workflow or convenience to black boxes I didn't create myself. Hell, even with my third party projects like Plex I have a lot of bash automation around extracting playlists from the internal sqlite db, etc. It really shifts your perspective on what's possible when you build things by hand yourself.
Not to mention the tool isn't meant to be anything more than glue between other programs
Keep in mind that what you find painful, some people find fun :)
In bash?? So the sound comes out of the PC motherboard speaker?
Don't give me new ideas...
That silly, obviously they're using VFIO so they can use a userspace sound card driver written in bash
Mmmm, so tinny
Well, I know what I'll be using to listen to my radio stations from now on. Really neat project!
Also, it doesn't pick up user defined tags because it's looking in the wrong place for them!
Row 114:
TAGS=( $(sed 's/ /\n/g' stations.txt |grep "#"|grep -v "#Favorites"|sort|uniq|sed 's/#//g') )
Should be
TAGS=( $(sed 's/ /\n/g' $HOME/.cache/radion/stations.txt |grep "#"|grep -v "#Favorites"|sort|uniq|sed 's/#//g') )
- Excellent catch! This one slipped through! I just fixed the bug, thank you very much!
I am happy you like it!
This looks crazy promising for us sxmo users ... I'll def check this out.
I must admit I had to look sxmo up...
thx!
How can we connect... I'm having weird graphical issues.... But I might be drunk and missing something. Tomorrow morning I'll send a video
Very cool. You might want to crosspost this to c/bash on lemmy.ml
Unrelated but, in case it's not dyslexia, it's "customize" not "costumize". It comes from "custom" not "costume".
You are right, lapsus calami...
No metal, blues, or dnb option?
Through the script you could go to https://www.radio-browser.info/search?page=1&order=clickcount&reverse=true&hidebroken=true&tagList=metal, pick the stations you fancy and headbang yourself unconscious... 🎸 🤘
De gustibus et coloribus...
Each user can create add and enjoy any tag and station they like!
Hmm soma has that
Awesome :) I think I shall set this up in Termux later for one more on the go music option.

I love somafm. I have saved a couple pls files that I listen to all the time. There's also a simple tool very similar to this but uses Deezer's library.
