Easy stream

[mrkrisprolls]

After the introduction, it is time to bring some music to the party.
This is something I do in order to discover new genre, new artists: find a nice radio, get information,... and eventually buy new CDs!

Here it goes, you finally found a great netradio featuring the kind of tunes you like (I use http://www.shoutcast.com), time to get more information on your drive

Code: Select all

streamripper http://yourstream.adress:port -r -d ~/music/streamripper --codeset-filesys=iso-8859-15 --codeset-id3=iso-8859-15 --codeset-metadata=iso-8859-15 --codeset-relay=iso-8859-15 -o larger

You can of course listening while getting information from your stream:

Code: Select all

mplayer -v http://127.0.0.1:8000

If you think UTF-8 is nicer then:

Code: Select all

convmv -r -f ISO-8859-15 -t UTF-8  *

Sorry if this was already well known from the community.

Cheers,
