Radio3.0

Radio3.0 is an Internet Radio Receiver & Recorder applet for Cinnamon.

With Radio3.0 you can:

  • Listen to any type of radio stream (MP3, AAC, AAC+, OGG, FLAC, FLV...)

  • Perform research in an internet database that references tens of thousands of radio stations.

  • Import files containing the URL of radio station streams, obtained from internet directories such as SHOUTcast.

  • Create your list of favorite radio stations, accessible by the menu of this applet.

  • Manage your list of favorite radios: add, move, remove, modify each radio of your list.

  • Create categories and sort yourself your favorite radios.

  • Save and restore entire lists of radios.

  • Record songs or programs while listening to them.

  • Schedule background recordings.

  • Try to record from YouTube the currently playing song. (Unsafe; another song can be recorded.)

  • Watch videos on YouTube about the song being played.

  • Extract the soundtrack of a YouTube video.

  • Launch and use Pulse Effects (if installed) for amazing sound experience.

  • Modify the volume of the radio, independent of the general sound volume.

Details, help and FAQ can be found in the Manual.

Dear users, Radio3.0 v1.4.0 is here! You can now replace the applet icon with the radio station logo, if available. This option can be accessed via the context menu (right-click on the icon). Radio stations with a logo are flagged with a star (*) in the 'My Radio Stations' menu. Enjoy it!

For this to work properly, you need to update your station list in the following way: * Open this applet's parameters (right-click, then 'Configure...'). In the first tab ('Radios'): * Save your station list (button provided). * Check your station list against the database (button provided).

It would be nice if the volume scrolling was in the same direction as Cinnamon!

Radio3.0 v1.2.0 is here! You can now use hotkeys to control the radio sound volume. To do that, go to the Menu tab in the Settings of this applet. At the bottom of this tab, choose these keyboard shortcuts. Personally, I use the usual shortcuts coupled with the CTRL key and it works very well. Enjoy!

In addition, you can choose whether or not to show an OSD when changing the radio volume, in the Behavior tab of the Settings of this applet.

Radio3.0 v1.1.0 is here. You can now keep the downloaded video that allowed the extraction of its soundtrack. (This slows down the extraction process.) You will get, in addition to the sound file, three files: * a `.mkv` file which contains the complete video (images and sound), * a `.f244.webm` file which contains only the images, * a `.f251. webm` file which only contains sound. You can delete these last two `.webm` files. I hope you will like it. Claudiux

Hi Devilzeyez, By clicking on the icon of the applet, you can choose to listen to a station listened to recently, or another station ("My radios") or search for new stations in the database. Thank you.

Thank you very much Serkan! Can you update your MANUAL.md file with md tag titles and links, please? For my part, I will update this applet to display the help in the user's language, when it exists.

If you like this applet, please log in with your Github account and add a star at the top of this page. It now needs at least 22 stars to appear on the first page of popular applets. It would be a nice way to thank my work!

Hi claudiux, First off, love the applet. It's a major part of my work day, so thanks. And I look forward to the 1.0.1 release. However, I am having the same experience as viggen66. After a clean install of Linux Mint 21.1 I cannot see the applet in the panel. I've tried a dark theme and changing the symbolic icon as you suggested and neither worked. I don't know the root cause, but if you have additional suggestions let me know and I'll give them a shot and report back. Keep up the good work, kurbkick

Edit: The problem only seems to occur when one performs a fresh install. I did not have issues when the applet was added in Mint 21 and then upgraded to 21.1.

Dear developer, I don't know if you are aware, there was a major update to the disto Linux Mint to version 21.1, which revamped Cinnamon to a more modern UI, it seems Radio3.0 is having some issues with the new Cinnamon, in my machine it doesn't appear the applet in the panel. Thanks

Hi viggen66, Please try to change the default color of this applet icon: Right-click on a panel -> Applets -> open the Radio3.0 settings -> go to the bottom of the Behavior tab and change the Color of the symbolic icon while radio is off. Other way: Try with a dark theme. I just tried Radio3.0 with Cinnamon 5.6.5 on Linux Mint 21.1 and there are no issues. Soon, the version 1.0.1 of Radio3.0. Regards. Claudiux

Hi Claudiux, Thank you very much for this app, never seen just a complete and full feature app for internet radio, simple love the shorcuts you made on the icon with left click, middle click and volume with scroll, awesome detail and great idea you had. This is an excellent project.

Very nice and very functional app. One minor issue for me: I don't run pulseaudio on my system. Rather, I run pipewire with the pipewire-pulse interface. As a result, I get a message everytime that the applet is initialized telling me to install pipewire. Can you either add a check for pipewire-pulse or an option to suppress the check/message?

Hi John, Thank you for your comment. I just added an option "Do not check about dependencies" in the Behavior tab of settings. This will appear in my next Pull Request. Please wait for update... Regards. Claudiux
