  • Select to pick a station from All Stations.

  • Select a random station out of this list of #tag stations.

  • ❌ Quit pyradion.

Recording

Recording a radio stream in pyradion can be done easily, just by hitting r or R.

The user will be notified through the status line of the recording taking place, and of the output file name.

Editing the pyradion.config file, the user will be able to define output audio file directory.

If the title is available by the stream, the file will take its name by it.

If title is Not Available, the file will take a date/time for name.

Output File Format

In order for recording to work for mpv, output file format must be the same with stream format.

Therefore stream format is recognised, and passed to the output file (e.g. mp3, ogg, aac).

This project shares more or less the same logic with a previous project in Bash:

although with this Python script some more features are available.
