//ANONRADIO// (formerly SDF Radio) is a streaming “internet radio station”.

To see the program schedule, visit http://anonradio.net

===== To Listen to ANONRADIO =====

The easiest way to start listening is to visit http://anonradio.net/listen in your web browser, and launch the web player.

Alternatively, you can use your favorite media player to open the live stream at ''http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio''

Don't know how to do that? Fear not! Below are instructions for how to do that with some popular media players.

==== On Windows ====

**VLC media player** (http://videolan.org)

  - File -> Open Network
  - enter: ''http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio''

To get around occasional drops in the stream which may occur when DJs/programs are changing, select Playback -> Repeat One.

==== On MacOSX ====

  * Click on the M3U play icon on http://anonradio.net, or use http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u

==== On Linux or BSD ====

**VLC media player** (http://videolan.org)

Using the GUI:

  - Go to Media -> Open Network Stream
  - Enter the address ''http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio'' and press the **Play** button

Using the ncurses interface (“nvlc”):

  - Press ''P'' to show the playlist screen.
  - Press ''A'' to add an item to the playlist
  - Enter ''http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio'' in the “Open:” field and press ''Enter''

Or, if you start VLC from the command line, you can specify the stream to open:

  $ vlc "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio"

**mplayer** (https://www.mplayerhq.hu)

At your shell, type:

  $ mplayer http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio

**mpv** (http://mpv.io)

This one's a little different — wait, no it's not. At your shell, type:

  $ mpv "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio"

**ncmpcpp** (http://rybczak.net/ncmpcpp/)

  - In ''ncmpcp'', press ''2'' to access playlists
  - Press ''a'' to add a station.
  - Add ''http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio'' and press ''enter''.

**SoX** (http://sox.sourceforge.net)

At the shell:

  $ play -t mp3 http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u

note: the ''play'' command is part of the ''SoX'' program.

To make it more useful for ANONRADIO use, it's helpful to put it into a shell script like so:

<file config /shell script>
#!/bin/sh -e
#  anonradio - streams SDF ANONradio via sox(1);
#  retries automatically if stream dropped
if [ -x $(which sox) ]; then
  trap 'printf "\n anonradio stream terminated... \n" && exit 0' 2
  clear
  while [ 1 ]
    do clear
    printf "\nSDF ANONradio - http://anonradio.net - ^C to cancel\n"
    sox -V0 -t mp3 http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u -d
    sleep 5
  done
else
  echo 'sox(1) not found or not executable - exiting...'
  exit 1
fi
exit 0

</file>

The above script will automatically reconnect to the anonradio stream if it gets dropped due to a DJ change or network abberation. Stream is terminated using the ''CNTL+C'' keys. See the ''sox(1)'' [[finding_help|manpage]] for the full list of options.
