This is a very simple and lightweight way to play DI.FM stations
For a more complete version of the command with proper strings in the menu, try: (couldnt fit in the command field above)
zenity --list --width 500 --height 500 --title 'DI.FM' --text 'Pick a Radio' --column 'radio' --column 'url' --print-column 2 $(curl -s http://www.di.fm/ | awk -F '"' '/href="http:.*\.pls.*96k/ {print $2}' | sort | awk -F '/|\.' '{print $(NF-1) " " $0}') | xargs mplayer
This command line parses the html returned from http://di.fm and display all radio stations in a nice graphical menu. After the radio is chosen, the url is passed to mplayer so the music can start
dependencies:
- x11 with gtk environment
- zenity: simple app for displaying gtk menus (sudo apt-get install zenity on ubuntu)
- mplayer: simple audio player (sudo apt-get install mplayer on ubuntu)
