### radiotray

by nadir » Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:59 am

The application radiotray is good (or ok).
I opened one station at jazz and one at techno, both i liked
(streamtuner2 is kinda broken, tunapie is so-so, lastfm is gone as long you don't pay. There still is the option to use plugins for rhythmbox or exaile to listen to magnatune or such, but radiotray is not that much clutter and plays some good music).
Perhaps i already posted it here, somewhere. I am not sure. To me multimedia is a miracle and if i don't use an app for two days i don't understand it anymore (hence for me it's "xmms2 add *" and "xmms2 play" most of the time, which i can understand).

Well: i ran into an article about an artist called "tricky". I like it.

(yup, that was just a brainfart, as i thought about music it pooped in my head)

I was not very clear.
I recall that in the past there were music files added to refracta (and good ones), to check audio when using the liveCD. But licenses have been a "question".
Using something like a radio is a way around that.
I always added lastfm and created a fake account (for anyone but me, so they can listen to music instantly). But, like said, that option doesn't seem to work anymore.
I really should try to be more clear. Note to myself: First think, then write.

I installed in on my raspberry pi, and it seems to be good on resources:
Using fluxbox with tilda, radiotray (just started) and iceweasel over ssh -fX (just started), htop reports 90MB of RAM usage (truth to be told, i am gladful for anything which runs at all on the raspberry pi. That might be well by fault, but it is that way).

not radio, but...
for finding "Creative Commons" -licensed music
I've really enjoyed the site
ccmixter.org
example page:
http://ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/31354
You can play-n-download the "finished" song and/or its 7 different piecemeal tracks (piano, vocals, etc)
and
when you find an interesting/likable song, look on the right side of the page ("samples used in") and follow links
to see/hear how other people have remixed/reinvented the same song.
bonus points (or something):
dl a set of tracks and drag 'em into Audacious and play at remixing.
It's like having a band (or an orchestra) at your command...
