StreamTuner2 – internet radio station and video browser

Last Updated on September 3, 2020

Summary

StreamTuner2 supports a wide range of directory services including Dirble, filtermusic, Internet Radio, Jamendo, MODarchive, MyOggRadio, RadioBrowser, Radionomy, Shoutcast.com, SomaFM, SurfMusic, TuneIn Radio, Xiph.org, and YouTube. With this range of services available, there’s something for everyone.

While there’s lots to admire with this public domain software, StreamTuner2 isn’t as lightweight as the original version. And the interface is sub-par in my opinion. Clunky springs to mind.

There’s a console-only mode, which allows to start playing individual radios without starting the GUI, and also supports exporting the station lists as JSON.

StreamTuner2 supports a wide array of audio formats and players. Choice is always good, and you’re free to marry StreamTuner2 with your favorite music player.

Yeah, who haven’t used stream tuner. Pity the second iteration crashes a little too much for my taste. At least on Debian

Debian (11) user here, too — Streamtuner2 works flawlessly.

Thanks for the review, I’d never heard of StreamTuner2. Works pretty well on Fedora from a couple of hours usage.

What a Python re-write means is that it will fail to install in some significant percentage of attempts due to installed differences in python installations. As “new, kewl” paradigms in python rise, working installations will mysteriously fail.

What truly amazes me is that members of the python community were some of the MOST vocal about dependency hell

More or less a well accepted solution is to put Python, dependencies and the app into a userland and run it in a container. It gives freedom, flexibility, repeated environments – one of the reason why Docker and Kubernetes are so popular.
