I built `onda` because I wanted to listen to radio and choose my own bitrate.

Why a TUI? I spend my time in the terminal. This is light and easy to navigate.

It uses Radio Browser for the station directory and mpv for playback. Streams directly from the broadcaster.

Features:

- `[` and `]` switch between bitrates in the current station.

- home view with currently playing, favorites and popular.

- Search by station name, country and tags.

This was inspired on Radio Garden. It's still. early but I'm working on new features.

AI disclosure, was done with AI. I love using AI for these small apps and saves me time I would rather have with my family.

This is really nice! Intuitive, portable and makes lots of the right choices (in terms of privacy too). I jumped right in without reading anything (my bad) so apologies if I'm complaining (I'm not, loving the app).

I downloaded the 30mb offline catalog, reloaded the app but am seeing only 5 english stations (browse by genre).

When I do the following:

(b)rowse -> By Language... = Nothing gets displayed

(b)rowse -> By country -> US... = only 2 stations get displayed

Version: onda_1.5.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Really appreciate the feedback. I will test on Linux when I can and report back hopefully with a fix. Could you also try search with a /?

Cooking up a fix. I'm finally on my linux machine :)

That's great! I'll keep an eye out. You made the entire process very easy. Loving the portable nature of the app too.

Downloaded the latest 1.5.1 version today for Linux. Perfect! I have a ton of radio stations displaying now for [country], [language] and [genre].

The Favorites and Search options are also working perfectly.

Thank you so much for this program. I am having a ton of fun finding stations around the world!
