Radion can be customized as far as the station selecting program is concerned. The user can choose between:
- read
- fzf
- rofi
- dmenu
Update: Introduced new feature: customizing prompt text for fzf dmenu and rofi.
Update: MacOS support added now thanks to Andrea Schäfer
Also, I was forced by my daughter to add some anime radio stations...
Update: Recording functionality added, with the use of another (you guessed it) bash script
Also options in read as Preferred selector are also case insensitive.
Any feedback is appreciated!

In bash? Impressive!
That’s why it’s impressive. It’s not easy.
Some people just have a natural affinity, I guess. If it made the programmer happy and it’s not full of maliciously exploitable bugs, why not?
Everything is not pure bash here, it's a radio frontend for mpv. It is also using sed, awk... A standard bash use case actually.
My entire homelab env is written in "pure bash". Bare metal deployments, creation, build, deployment, update, and backup, of docker containers (which are also just convenience wrappers around other pure bash projects of mine.). Etc...
I do it because I got sick of losing data, work, workflow or convenience to black boxes I didn't create myself. Hell, even with my third party projects like Plex I have a lot of bash automation around extracting playlists from the internal sqlite db, etc. It really shifts your perspective on what's possible when you build things by hand yourself.
It's not like I don't use open source solutions, I use docker for example rather than automating chroots/cgroups by hand in bash. I just use them as little as possible. While you're correct, I don't lose data in a well designed open source project, I do lose work, workflow, and convenience when those projects change or shut down. What's really nice about the pure bash solutions is they're entirely portable once you have them dialed in. If I wanted to switch from docker back to vms or forward to something like harvester/rancher/k3s I'd be able to port the projects very trivially. If I built everything around one of those projects in mind, all of my work would rely on it not changing. I acknowledge it's sometimes a little more work but it's work that I get to decide when to do, not when the project maintainers decide it for me.
Not to mention the tool isn't meant to be anything more than glue between other programs
Keep in mind that what you find painful, some people find fun :)
Don't give me new ideas...
That silly, obviously they're using VFIO so they can use a userspace sound card driver written in bash
Mmmm, so tinny
Well, I know what I'll be using to listen to my radio stations from now on. Really neat project!
Also, it doesn't pick up user defined tags because it's looking in the wrong place for them!
Row 114:
TAGS=( $(sed 's/ /\n/g' stations.txt |grep "#"|grep -v "#Favorites"|sort|uniq|sed 's/#//g') )
Should be
TAGS=( $(sed 's/ /\n/g' $HOME/.cache/radion/stations.txt |grep "#"|grep -v "#Favorites"|sort|uniq|sed 's/#//g') )
I am happy you like it!
This looks crazy promising for us sxmo users ... I'll def check this out.
I must admit I had to look sxmo up...
thx!
How can we connect... I'm having weird graphical issues.... But I might be drunk and missing something. Tomorrow morning I'll send a video
Very cool. You might want to crosspost this to c/bash on lemmy.ml
Unrelated but, in case it's not dyslexia, it's "customize" not "costumize". It comes from "custom" not "costume".
You are right, lapsus calami...
Awesome :) I think I shall set this up in Termux later for one more on the go music option.
No metal, blues, or dnb option?
Through the script you could go to https://www.radio-browser.info/search?page=1&order=clickcount&reverse=true&hidebroken=true&tagList=metal, pick the stations you fancy and headbang yourself unconscious... 🎸 🤘
Each user can create add and enjoy any tag and station they like!
Hmm soma has that

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Of course, next time I feel like writing a script, I will make sure that I let you know first, and get your approval.
respectfully, why did you write it in bash? for the challenge?
This script could might as well be an one-liner. It was simple and easy.
Yeah right, that's what my co-worker said writing the most obscure bash scripts... *looks at code Ah, it is easy and well structured indeed. Nice :-) .
I know this feeling! However this script in its essence is quite simple...
Maybe simple to Chris Angel and his magic.
Try this, it is less pretty, but in essence, the same:
That's the least you can do.
I like how people I don't know insist on telling me what to do. Actually, I like the part where I ignore them.
Dude, I was trying to be funny. Feel absolutely free to ignore me.
Oh, no problem 😀
Maybe. Respectfuly, feel free to move along. I fail to see the aim of your message.
By the way: Who's "we"? Do you represent a group of people? Are you elected to speak for someone? Or is it the plural of some royal family? Please.
I know, it so indifferent to you, that you have written so many messages on my post, just to troll me. Go on, write one more, have the last word and be done with it.
