Version: 0.7
Compiled an tested in 4.31.shell-fm is a lightweight, console-based player for Last.FM radio streams. It's pretty small (the binary is currently a little smaller than 60K, or 50K when stripped) and it has most features the "official" player has, if not even a few more.
After installation you will first have to setup your shell-fm.rc at /root/.shell-fm/shell-fm.rc . There is a template File at the folder to not mess up an eventualy allready existing rc-File. The options are self-explanatory.
Usage is simple.
- There's a starter at Multimedia => ShellFM
- If you did not setup your shell-fm.rc you will be asked for your login-details. If you have setup it will automatically login.
- if you're using a proxy, you will definitely have to setup the rc-file.
- If you have defined a default-radio in the rc-file just start shell-fm and the default will autoplay.
- If you don't have, start shell-fm with 'shell-fm lastfm://your-link-to-a-stream' in a shell. e.g 'shell-fm lastfm://artist/Bugge%2520Wesseltoft/similarartists'
A little help is 'shell-fm -h'.
While running shell-fm, you will find all options by pressing '?'.
Have fun
