Free satellite radio software for linux

Satellite can track many remote machines with dynamic IP addresses in situations where public DNS services are inappropriate. Satellite can log and alert an admin immediately when a site comes online or needs attention.
The Satellite archive also includes an RPM spec file. RPM users can build a binary package ready to install by running:
rpm -tb satellite-1.0.2.tar.gz
You will find the binary rpm under /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/i386 or /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.
Reasons for Satellite
Public DNS services are often used to track clients with changing IP addresses, but DNS solutions suffer from several problems:
Failure
Public DNS servers regularly fail due to overloading and system administration problems.
No notification
There is no notification when a system goes online. Instead you must poll DNS regularly to see when a system comes online.
Latency
Updating can take from several minutes to several hours before the change is made public. On systems with small idle timeouts it is often impossible to find the current IP address via DNS.
No history
Public DNS services only keep track of the current address and dont record past times or changes in a central location.
Enhancements:
- Minor code improvements. -e no longer searches PATH.
- --with-port removed. Default now found from /etc/services.
- Documentation updates

wmstradio is a doc app that acts as a radio for streamed media. It reads a list of "channels" and allows them to be selected in a radio like interface. wmstradio launches Real Player connecting to the site that you select.
The only configuring wmstradio needs is a list of RealAudio sites to connect to. This is provided through a directory called ~/.wmstradio which contains link files to the sites. These link files are what you get when you try to save the link through a web browser. They are text files containing a URL to the server real audio streamer. The name of this file is used as the name of the chanel in the wmstradio display window.
Enhancements:
- BUGFIX: shaifuljahari at yahoo.com pointed out that an empty .wmstradio directory caused the app to core on load. Fixed.
- MISC: Empty directories are now detected at load, and during the lifetime of the app. Appropriate error message given on standard error and lcd.
- DOCUMENTATION: CREDITS added.

Ximba Radio project is a GTK+ based user interface to the OpenXM daemon for controlling an XMPCR (a USB-connected XM Radio for PCs). The daemon manages a USB connected XMPCR receiver, which in turn pumps the audio signal into your audio cards input port. The daemon runs in the background and the UI connects to it to manage stations, favorites, and audio
Main features:
- Connecting to and starting up the radio.
- Disconnecting from and shutting down the radio.
- Channel up, Channel down
- Jump to channel
- Back to previous channel
- Mute on / off
- Preferences
- Channel listing window that can be hidden from view.
- Artist and Channel Favorites
- Notify when a favorite artist is playing on some station other than the current one, allow quick jump to that station.
- Category Tabs
- Session History

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.

The Stewie Radio Automation Project is a stand-in replacement for the "XMMS playlist on random" style of independent radio station.
Once properly configured, the user will enjoy the low maintenance of a "random playlist" station while still being able to use legal IDs, liners, multiple playlists, and music logs.
Main features:
- Low maintenance
- Multiple playlists
- Liners
- Legal IDs
- Logs every song and liner played
- Records errors and keeps truckin
Enhancements:
- Fixed a few bugs in install script
- Created error log/warning system
- Main script now updates the settings in stewie.conf in order to continue running. The only thing that *should* kill it, is not having any music available in the "master" playlist.
- Config file can be updated while script is running
- install-stewie gives "not found" audio players another chance
- Rewrote README file

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

KDE Radio Station presents you a list of internet streaming radio stations. Just select your favorite one, and the media player of your choice will pick up the right stream.

More than 40 radio stations (and more than 90 streams) are already available; thanks to the decentralized structure, many more sources like Icecast directories can be added via metaservers.

And you are now able to share your favorites with other users...
