Well, I have been switching between Windows and Ubuntu for a few weeks by now, and I'd like the functionality of streaming Last.fm radios in both systems. On Windows, I have foobar2000. On Ubuntu, the only working client with a GUI here is Rhythmbox. All because it's using the old Last.fm API.
But I'm not talking about Rhythmbox today. Because Linux users just love the Terminal, don't they? If possible, they might want to run everything in Terminal. Because it's awesome. Also, it baffles those who use Windows, further increasing it's cool factor.
Gentlemen, I present you shell-fm!
Simply put, it's your Last.fm client that runs entirely on your Terminal.

And it runs on the old Last.fm API, you poorfags.
So yeah, to obtain it, here are the instructions (requires git and some knowledge compiling from source code):

Alternatives (with GUI,
Banshee - http://banshee.fm/
Rhythmbox - http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/
Last.fm Scrobbler - http://www.last.fm/download?showplatform=Linux
Vagalume - http://vagalume.igalia.com/
Oh well, what else can I get for Terminal?
IRSSI. What is that? An IRC client that runs in the terminal.
ReplyDelete... You might want to drop by the Linux section in the Lowyat forum for some tips.
Or the Ubuntu forums.
I know, but I'm not covering that in this post.
ReplyDeleteHeck I can list a whole lot more, which defeats the purpose of this post.
