RNORadio is a GUI based internet radio player program for MP3 streams. The actual streaming and playback is based on the CgmRadio program, but RNORadio still works as a stand-alone program with no dependencies. The program is available for MorphOS.

Features:

- Two GUI options: MUI or custom skin(s)
- Displays stream titles in real-time from the MP3 metadata
- Comprehensive station editor with an option to download station logos from a local drive or Internet
- Supports multiple streams per station
- Can import streams from PLS, M3U, Extended M3U, and XSPF playlist files
- Has a Shoutcast search window
- Animation support for custom skin elements, including a station's logo
- Alpha transparency support in custom skins with images and animations
- Can display extra information from stations, but currently it only shows the "OneLiner" chat from Nectarine in the MUI GUI
- ARexx, command line, and tooltypes support

Screenshots (galore):

Wow, impressive! Thumbs up!

Hi jPV
Looks great, it would also like to run under OS4.
Could you also compile it for OS4 and make it available here?

Unfortunately it's using an external player for streaming and playback, and that program works only on MorphOS. But if anyone can point me a lightweight open source shell based streaming program for other platforms, then I can port it.

Hi jPV
Unfortunately I did not find any streaming programs based on Open-Source-Shell.
But would this also be possible with AmigaAmp

Not that easily... I've modified the external player to send information to RNORadio, and with AmigaAMP I'd have to change the whole structure how the program works completely other way around. My goal was also to make the program stand-alone and I've embedded the player software in the RNORadio binary, with AmigaAMP I'd have to require totally external program and have two programs visible etc..

BTW. I just released an update to RNORadio.

Version 1.1:
- Added hotkeys for favourite stations
- Shoutcast search results can also be reverse sorted
- No longer asks twice if you want to replace a station
- Fixed some iconifying and commodity issues with the MUI GUI
- Changed the Shoutcast keyword handling to always use lowercase
- More verbose handling connection errors
- Less strict with characters in the MUI GUI
- Fine-tuned playlist importing

See the first post for download links.

Im using RNOradio a lot while toying with MorphOS.
It works great.
Thanks so much JPV!

Okay jPV.
Tunenet is still a streaming program, but it's not open source.
Hmm, at the moment I can't think of any other open source streaming program for OS4.1.
Keep looking, maybe I'll find something else that fits.
