have been using cmus
to play internet radio – it’s handled (most
of) the streams just fine, but its library management capabilities are pretty
overkill for listening to a handful of internet radio stations – recently
discovered that mpv
can also handle internet radio just fine
(pretty much all media streaming including IPTV) – its audio interface on the
commandline isn’t much to write home about, but resource usage across the two is
pretty much equivalent (looks like everything just uses ffmpeg
under the hood anyways), and mpv
can handle both https
streams and m3u8
playlists that cmus
can’t – and it
can read the station titles when you using #EXTINF
tags in
m3u
playlists
$ mpv --no-video <playlist-name> --playlist-start=<index>
