  • pianobar

    Console-based pandora.com player

  • I wish Pandora's APIs were more open. There's a library for their radio feature[0] but no API for their music subscription service.

    The web app is great for use in your house, the Spotify plugin is first class - it's supported as a target in your Spotify app, or you can browse straight from the webapp, which means even a guest on your wifi can easily pop on and help pick the music.

  • OtterCastAmp

    OtterCastAmp is an open-source WiFi Speaker amplifier, based on a Sochip S3 SoC. Powered by any USB PD adapter for up to 100W of music.

  • This is very similar to the OtterCast, which is an open source and open hardware Chromecast replacement.

    My Environment. Zsh, tmux, other shit (by radiosilence)

  • Yeah, I used to use Spotify for discovery when the radio function acted like...radio. Now it's just a 30 track playlist on loop generated based on things you have liked. So absolutely fucking pointless for discovery.

    I am SCREAMING OUT for a service that was like the old Spotify radio.

    Currently just going to gigs again and finding bands through bandcamp the organic way is what I'm doing.

    Also, here is a script I wrote to download and extract a Bandcamp download link and import it with the beet CLI music library manager:
