10.10 Internet Radio
20220717
The default Ubuntu music player, RhythmBox, supports internet radio station streaming. It has only a small collection of stations listed by default. Further stations can be added by entering the station’s URL one-by-one. Searching for internet radio stations is not supported by the application itself.
RadioTry-NG uses a panel
icon to manage playing of radio stations and includes a radio station
bookmark editor. For bulk additions the entries can be added into the
json file ~/.config/radiotray-ng/bookmarks.json. The
yq package (Section 18.36) can be used
to extract iradio entries and the relevant fields from the
RhythmBox
/~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml file as illustrated in
Section 18.35.
Stations can be sampled at http://www.radio-browser.info/ and their corresponding URLs and other meta-data is available when you click on the station name. Another source of stations is the Internet Radio.
A list of streams is also available from the Australian government’s publicly funded and highly respected Australian Broadcasting Corporation whith other information available from https://radio.abc.net.au/help/streams.
