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>
