There is an easy way to listen to Sydney radio stations over the Internet on Linux. Use the mpv media player. This can stream the radio stations with no effort.

Copy the listing of radio stations to your terminal like this.

This will print a listing of all stations in the playlist file.

Then pick a radio station stream URL and then play it with mpv.

This method will play it in your MATE terminal window with a nice waveform display.

This is very easy to do and it is easier than going on the website and working out how to play the music on some of the websites. This is much easier. And should work with Audacious and AIMP3.

  1. People will always demand more performance and yet, the processors are stagnating. And software is getting slower, as brain dead programmers start all projects with boiler plate that each involves multi megabyte libraries.

    An Apple 2 or BBC model B in 1980’s: you turn on the power switch, there is a beep, and a second or so thereafter you are ready to work. There are no fans, no heat sinks, no noise.
    A modern PC: you turn on power, street lights dim as fans scream into action to keep the heat under control, adding propulsion to the computer, loading up with dust bunnies. Rituals involving BIOS, passwords, updates to endless security holes, and 10 minutes later you can work. Response speed typing to screen is no better than it was 40 years ago.

    This insanity must end.
