Thanks for a great article! I to use very limited hardware for audio playback. I have a server in my boat built around a VIA mini-itx card. I use mpd for streaming. I control it with mpc/ncmpc from the command line or with Pitchfork as a web GUI. Works great!

Tom, I like Mr Savage but he lives and works in USA. There’s only Internet left to have Him spreading the Truth within the walls of my room.I’m not for the news as such, more for the US Radio Talk Shows.

Carlito, let me ask frankly - what for? For recording or for listening? Wouldn’t the mpd be an overkill for the tasks I described above?

Regards,

Why don’t you install mpd and control it with ncmpd???

As much of a console/terminal buff as I am (and a good other amount of Linux buffs) I use GUI-based apps most of the time, depending on the situation, and use a desktop environment ALL the time, unless I’m edited my xorg drivers or something.

Now, with that established, would I use internet radio? I don’t know, but this is handy for those in less populated areas using Linux, as the more of a “cultural” or “urban” center you’re in the easier it is to obtain news and such.

Also done with the obvious, I may very well bookmark this one. Thanks.
