What is Cmdradio?
Cmdradio is an open-source, text-based internet radio player designed for the Windows command line interface. It allows you to listen to online radio stations directly in the command prompt, without requiring a graphical user interface.
Some key features of Cmdradio include:
- Plays MP3 and Ogg Vorbis radio station streams
- Support for playback from Shoutcast and Icecast sources
- Fully customizable hotkeys for controlling playback, volume, etc.
- Ability to save favorite stations for quick access
- Lightweight program with very low overhead
- Open source (MIT license) codebase written in C++
As a text-based player, Cmdradio works well for headless or remote Windows servers where a GUI desktop is not available. It can run in the background without visual distractions. The lack of graphics also means very low CPU and RAM usage.
In summary, Cmdradio fills a niche for command line users who want basic radio playback capabilities without the overhead or resource usage of a graphical radio player.
Winamp, VLC Media Player, MusicBee, MediaMonkey, AIMP, foobar2000, Rhythmbox, Audacious, Clementine, Strawberry, Amarok, DeaDBeeF are some alternatives to Cmdradio.
