Free kdec radio software for linux

DMCRadio is a ncurses-based console program for radio tuner cards supported by the Video4Linux system. To run DMCRadio, youll need a kernel with Video4Linux support.
Beside, youll need the ncurses-package. And DMCRadio is only usefull with a radio-card (or a tv-card with radio-tuner)
Installation is easy:
1. Untar the source archive
2. ./configure
3. make
4. make install
5. Make sure, everybody can access your radiodevice (usually /dev/radio)
Enhancements:
- different (more correctly) behaviour on different terminalsizes:
- smaller than 80x24: refuses to start
- 80x24: doesnt show the scroller (and wont start a scrollthread)
- 80x25: "normal" view
- greater than 80x25: centers
- should now evaluate autoconfs PREFIX-variable (eg. expects the fonts in $PREFIX/share/DMCRadio/ - default is still /usr/local/share/DMCRadio/)
- the fonts are there again (forgot to include them in version 1.1.3)
- "make install" now installs the fonts in $PREFIX/share/DMCRadio/
- added a "debian"-directory, you may build debian-packeges with "dpkg-buildpackage" now (after applying the patch (diff))
- added standard header define stuff in the headers

iRATE radio provides users with a powerful new way to find and download free, legal music online.

Users rate tracks based on their tastes. The iRATE server then selects other tracks to send to the user from a database of over 50,000 freely downloadable songs by correlating the users ratings with other users, and finding people with similar tastes.

Unlike streaming audio, iRATE saves the tracks to the users hard drive. This means that playback is smoother, without the typical problems associated with streaming media, such as high bandwidth usage.

GNU Radio is a collection of software that when combined with minimal hardware, allows the construction of radios where the actual waveforms transmitted and received are defined by software. What this means is that it turns the digital modulation schemes used in todays high performance wireless devices into software problems.
What is a Software Defined Radio?
Joe Mitola says, "A software radio is a radio whose channel modulation waveforms are defined in software. That is, waveforms are generated as sampled digital signals, converted from digital to analog via a wideband DAC and then possibly upconverted from IF to RF. The receiver, similarly, employs a wideband Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) that captures all of the channels of the software radio node. The receiver then extracts, downconverts and demodulates the channel waveform using software on a general purpose processor."
For our purposes, on the receive side, the idea is to get a wide band ADC as close to the antenna as is convenient, get the samples into something we can program, and then grind on them in software.
Enhancements:
- GNU Radio 2.6 includes sending and receiving data at up to 1Mbit/sec using GMSK. - Theres also support for the new USRP Flex 400 transceiver daughterboards.
- Handling of all daughterboards has been unified, so most apps will work without modification on any of them. For those of you interested in wireless networking, see especially gnuradio-examples/python/gmsk2. Weve got a framework in place to allow you to build and experiment with your own MACs. 2.6 includes the "null MAC". A carrier sense MAC is the next logical step.

rico_RADIO is a little app for X under linux to listen to the radio.
This is how to install:
type (make sure that you are root) "make install" to compile and copy rico_RADIO to "/usr/bin"
Enhancements:
- volume-control
- mute-button
- many cosmetic changes

2. click right mouse button into station button

KRadio project is a comfortable KDE radio application. The initial release was written by Frank Schwanz. In Jan. 2002 I took over the project to add some new features.
Main features:
- support for V4L and V4L2 based radio card drivers
- NEW: Timeshift playing: press the pause button and later continue listening where you stopped!
- NEW: dynamically loadable plugins
- NEW: Ogg/Vorbis recording (libogg/libvorbis required)
- MP3 recording (libmp3lame required)
- attended and unattended recording
- database with station preset files, station search
- lirc support
- alarms (weekday specific if you wish), stations and volume may be assigned, types: start/stop play, start/stop recording
- sleep countdown functions
- docking menu, includes menu entries for preferred stations
- quickbar, toolbar with buttons for preferred stations
- icons for stations in quickbar, display, etc.
- error logging window instead of nerving messageboxes:)
- plugin library architecture, kradio is ready for new radio types (e.g. internet radio), your own radio display, etc.

GQradio interfaces with radio cards through the video4linux, or the FreeBSD bktr APIs.

Stations can be tuned manually, set to presets, or auto seek can find the next available frequency. The application supports theming (skins), and includes a built-in skin editor. Skin formats are similar to GQmpeg.
