Streamtuner: Audiophiles’ Solution For Net Radio

I will say that since I performed an upgrade, I didn’t lose any of my data, and it wasn’t necessary to perform a so-called clean install. The product works as advertised and actually upgraded Red Hat Linux 9 quite well. The up2date in Fedora Core uses Yellow Dog Updater, Modified to run up2date, and that portion of the migration worked like a charm. Due to the large number of add-ons that I have, it did take some time to update the rest, but thanks to Fresh RPMS, Dag Wieers, and others, upgrading was relatively simple.

One of the nice new packages that I found available for Fedora Core 1 is Streamtuner, and excellent tool for locating streaming audio stations from the web in a simple and elegant application.Streamtuner is definitely a diamond in the free software world. I am an audiophile (meaning I like to listen to music and enjoy it for the art of th music) and I woudl definetly recommend this application to anyone that wants to find music that suits their particular tastes.

The Streamtuner package is written by Jean-Yves Lefort, and it is free software, released under the terms of the revised BSD license (detailed licensing information can be found in the COPYING file accompanying the source distribution).

I commend Mr. Lefort for a job well done. Although the version that I have is not the bleeding edge of Streamtuner development (I am running version 0.11.1), it is fully-featured and is what I need for quickly finding the type of music I want to hear on the Internet. Streamtuner is the sort of application that brings the power of the Internet home, aggregating many streams of audio from all over the world.
