Soma - a dialog internet radio player Soma is an internet stream audio player. Any URL playable by mplayer with or without the -playlist option should work. Extra stations can be added in ~/.soma/stations.conf. Startup Flags: soma -l Go straight to bookmarks list soma -b Go straight to stations browser for genre soma -B Go straight to all stations browser soma -g Go straight to local genre browser soma -G Go straight to global genre browser soma -d To start in debug mode soma -h Help soma --record-info Detailed recording info Config Files and Directories: User: Global: ~/.soma/options.conf /etc/soma/options.conf ~/.soma/stations.conf /etc/soma/stations.conf ~/.soma/themes/*rc /etc/soma/themes/*rc ~/.soma/genres/*.conf /etc/soma/genres/*.conf ~/.soma/bookmarks.conf ~/.soma/schedules.conf ~/.soma/recordings/ Key commands supported in status window: 1 - 0 Volume 10% - 100% () Volume -5/+5 F1-F12 Bookmarks ` Volume 0 Space Pause a Add schedule A Toggle audio codec info b Station browser (genre) B Station browser (all) d Disconnect/Reconnect/Play/Stop D Toggle debug mode g List genres h List local genres j Add station to current genre k Bookmark current station l Open bookmark list m Toggle mute o Options menu q Quit s Scheduler menu S Toggle schedules on/off t Change theme ?

User stations are listed before global in all stations list. Custom genre and theme files can be made and will be listed along with the default set. I would be glad of any extra radio urls emailed to me so I can add to the default list. NOTES: The Jack and NAS options for output device will only work if MPlayer is built against them. When changing/selecting soundcard output device you must press space on the option. Just scrolling down and hitting Enter does nothing. BUGS: Soma may induce the side effects of general well-being and profound spiritual satisfaction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(Brave_New_World) REAL BUGS: Some people might find screen messes up the dialog colours. If you have this line in ~/.screenrc: attrcolor b ".I" You might want to comment it out and try again as it seems to turn off the bold attribute. See the screen man page for more info.
