Raspberry Salad…
…or Groovy Pi.
One of my favorite internet radio stations is soma fm, and in particular, their Groove Salad station. I figured what better to do than to turn my Raspberry Pi into a Groove Salad music streamer.
After searching the internets, I came upon MPlayer, which you can execute via the command-line. To install on the Pi:
$ sudo apt-get install mplayer
Then to start streaming Groove Salad via it’s playlist:
$ mplayer http://streamer-dtc-aa01.somafm.com:80/stream/1018
I got the address info by downloading the pls file from soma fm, opening it in a text-editor and extracting that line.
Plug in some headphones (or better yet, hook it to your stereo), and you’re good to go!
