@Paweł Masarczyk I have just tried to open an URL like this in VLC media player and I think it kind of worked.
https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u/stations/search?order=random&limit=10

The thing is the requests are cached server side so we need to wait some 10 minutes in order to get it randomized again. If we all would start doing it we would be retrieving the same list from their cache.

We can spice it up by randomizing the offset for example
https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u/stations/search?order=random&limit=10&offset=1230

With this knowledge you can build your desktop shortcut to your favorite media player such as:
vlc "https://de1.api.radio-browser.info/m3u/stations/search?order=random&limit=10&offset=%RANDOM%"

Some ten years ago Shoutcast used to offer a possibility where by calling up a certain URL with a media player, it would return a playlist of ten randomly selected stations out of the entire catalogue. Launching that and listening to the first thing it would pick was a huge part of my morning routine back then and was especially useful during long commutes to school. My appreciation for music from different genres and corners of the world has expanded beyond imagination and every day I would be wondering what is it gonna be today: A morning show on a station somewhere in Greece, a bit of Liszt and Brahms or perhaps an obscure oldschool hiphop mixtape from the depths of Soundcloud. I was reminded about it last week as I put on a podcast in Hungarian and felt like I was on holiday and listening to a local station, not understanding a word but feeling connected with something local at the place I'm at - a really good feeling. Here's an idea for someone with a bit of time and coding skills to spare: we've got Radio Browser and its directory of over 30.000 stations. It's got an API method for fetching an array of randomly selected stations. Perhaps it would be possible to add this as a feature of an existing Radio Browser supporting app or create a dedicated gateway which, upon calling its URL with a media player would hit the RB API with a request and present a random station or more. Can't wait to get out of the usual bubble of streaming services' recommendations of music and experiencing all of the languages available. @chockenberry @stroughtonsmith @app #Radio #App #OpenSource


The FCC pushed back the application window to Dec 6-13 to allow community groups more time to prepare applications for new, low-power, community radio stations.

When they first announced the opportunity -- a window that has not been open in a decade y'all -- the news was clearly huge, so now they are giving people six more weeks to prepare their applications.

As you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

Please boost and share.

Hi. Did you know there's a library of free-to-use music for your next #podcast, university assignment, #radio show or perhaps powerpoint presentation?
I painstakingly made everything here and I'm not done yet. There are at present, 171 tracks but over a thousand variants, and it's all yours for the price of 0.00.
I do have to warn you however, that if you plan to use any of the tracks between 1 and 150 on youtube, you will be hit with a silly copyright claim that I have no intention of issuing takedowns for, so please, despite that, feel free regardless.
If you like what you hear, please boost for larger reach. My goal is to have a library of high-quality tracks for anyone to use for any purpose whatsoever. Thank you.

Der kürzlich verstorbene Sportreporter Heinz-Florian Oertel gestaltete übrigens im DDR-Rundfunk auch Unterhaltungssendungen, darunter eine Reihe die sich "alles, was #Berlin heißt" nannte. Die MAZ hat dann auch prompt eine dieser Sendungen aus dem Dezember 1960 aufgestöbert, in welcher live aus dem Ort #Berlinchen bei #Wittstock/Dosse berichtet wurde, nur wenige Kilometer von mir entfernt. Herrlich skurrile Rundfunkgeschichte! 😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsssdwQueQY #DDR #Ostalgie #Radio


#KCRW #Radio: KCRW leaves Twitter as platform labels NPR as 'state-affiliated' #Birdsite #Twitter #NPR https://www.kcrw.com/news/articles/npr-twitter-state-affiliated-media


Browsing Github last night, I came across two interesting, potentially accessible open source projects related to radio.
1. Salamandra Radio - an automation software for station in its early development. Screen reader specific fixes have been mentioned in the release notes and so were hotkeys, although these do not seem to be documented anywhere; the app starts in Portuguese by default but a change to English is possible in the settings; also buttons in the toolbar do not seem to be labelled but upon focusing them, a tooltip is read out so we can go by those to tell what the buttons are doing.
https://github.com/ocarolino/salamandraRadio/
2. Axios - a simple radio player supporting the Radio Browser API. It is accessible in a similar way as Salamandra, allows for searching the directory, playing whatever is found, and controlling the volume.
https://github.com/z1lvis/Axios
Feel free to explore, hack, spread the word or do whatever else you usually do in such cases.

#Radio in the #UK just absolutely sucks!

I don't own a good #AM tuner, but I can only get one station at home around Newcastle (Greatest Hits) who don't even advertise their AM frequency any more, that's how few people use AM here.

There's only like 10 or so #FM stations. 5 of them are BBC stations including the local BBC station, most of the rest are owned by Global, and some of their stations (Metro and Heart for example) play basically the same things. Not to mention they're all syndicated. In Stirling I can get 103.1 Central FM, who I think are independent? But not in stereo.

There's a lot more choice on #DAB, but as Techmoan has covered before, the bitrates and formats DAB use is so low that it's utter rubbish to listen to compared to FM.

And of course there's #InternetRadio, but where's the fun in that? And what'll you do when you suddenly lose cellular connectivity?

Meanwhile Vwestlife in #NJ, #USA can DX all this at night, just on AM! https://youtu.be/F1j9L9rstws

So. thought I'd pen some thoughts here... no, not about birdsite, but about a cool youtube channel I discovered a couple of years ago, The Radio Vault. Its a youtube channel dedicated to #preservation of mostly New Zealand and Australian radio. They recently announced that they've been hard at work, digitizing over 750 #VHS #tapes, and over 1500 #cassettes. Wow! I can't even begin to imagine what 1500 cassettes would look like! I had about 100 when I was younger, but 1500? *head explodes*. Here's the link. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClKbJxBkh40Kn_9gRARSFag #Australia #NZ #Radio
