Listen To and Record Internet Music Radio Stations April 5, 2006
Posted by Carthik in applications, ubuntu.trackback
I feel like a kid in a candy shop. I installed streamtuner today. Streamtuner makes thousands (no exaggeration) of internet music stations available to you. This includes all shoutcast and live365 stations. You also need to have xmms or beep-media-player or somesuch player that can play playlists.
So:
$sudo apt-get install streamtuner xmms
and you are set!
Now you can search or browse through the thousands of streams and pick the one you want to hear.

what about VLC and the shoutcast option ? As i’m concern, i’m french and we have tv station from internet thanks to VLC and FAI named free … so that i’m using VLC, i use it for shoutcast too.
I posted a detailed HOWTO to do that:

yep, very nice tool – recommended for music fans.
streamtuner was the only reason why i had tried the ubuntu/debian operating system some 8 months ago. i couldn’t resist the tempatation to give it a go when i read such rather simple procedure to install and start using, what looked like to me at that time, a dream application.
cheers!
Speaking of recording media, here’s a spiffy tip: There’s a package (in universe) called “mimms” that’s used from the command line: type “mimms mms://streaming_video_url_here” and it will save a wmv to your home directory! 🙂 I just tested it on cnn.com and it works great: the files are saves as wmv, but Breezy doesn’t like that, so just rename them to asf. Mplayer (with w32codecs from PLF) plays them back without a hitch.
edit: it will save the file in the working directory (which happens to be home with I open a Terminal window 😉
It is beneficial to apt-get install streamripper as well…
Thanks for the tip with streamtuner. I am connecting wirelessly and I can listen to music while I work at home from anywhere in the world. I understand why you felt like a kid in a candy store!!
Also, keep up the great work that you are doing on this blog, I check it out often to see what new tips I can use. I fell in love with Ubuntu last year and now I am using it at home as much as I can and I love this distro.
BTW, I have some tips for Kubuntu as far as installs and set ups too, feel free to visit my BLOG: http://www.vzlnosblog.com and check under Ubuntu category (I write about absolutely anything, it is not dedicated to one subject only).
Take care
I never new about xmms now that I do man its the best thing ever, Linux is going to take over somehow someway
you should check out my radio station hosted with Ubuntu…
you should be able to find it on streamtuner by searching for “wavy radio” or you can just check out it website here… http://jimmyjazz.homeip.net:808/listenwavy/
I better suggest running Streamtuner with amarok. The sound quality is simply superb. Thanks for this post buddy. 🙂
using mimms with CTSV to record the world lacrosse championships. awesome.

I personally like streamripper (http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/) and StationRipper (http://www.stationripper.com/) on the (rare) times I’m on windows.
Well, this is awesome! I am somewhat of a newbie to Linux and i want to get more involved in understanding hw to download programs like this one. Thanks!
Hello everyone! Can anyone tell me if this still applies with Kubuntu KDE4? I’m currently using Kubuntu 8.04 but I’m looking to try out KDE4 in the near future. It would really really help out
For those times when I boot my laptop into XP Pro, I use Nexus radio. Totally free, with a pantload of incredible features. Can work like a Tivo and record any station for any length of time, and tags and exports the files automatically. Has an equalizer function, and the media player plays any files on your computer, too. And you can’t beat the price!
Any chance streamtuner works with Rhythmbox?
How can i play Streamtuner streams with Rhythmbox?
