ANONRADIO (formerly SDF Radio) is a streaming "internet radio station".

To see the program schedule, visit http://anonradio.net

===== To Listen to ANONRADIO =====

The easiest way to start listening is to visit http://anonradio.net/listen in your web browser, and launch the web player.

Alternatively, you can use your favorite media player to open the live stream at "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio"

Don't know how to do that? Fear not! Below are instructions for how to do that with some popular media players.

==== On Windows ====

=== VLC media player (http://videolan.org) ===

  - File -> Open Network
  - enter: http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio

To get around occasional drops in the stream which may occur when DJs/programs are changing, select Playback -> Repeat One.

==== On MacOSX ====

  * Click on the M3U play icon on http://anonradio.net, or use http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u

==== On Linux or BSD ====

=== VLC media player (http://videolan.org) ===

Using the GUI:

  - Go to Media → Open Network Stream
  - Enter the address http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio and press the **Play** button

Using the ncurses interface ("nvlc"):

  - Press P to show the playlist screen.
  - Press A to add an item to the playlist
  - Enter http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio in the "Open:" field and press Enter

Or, if you start VLC from the command line, you can specify the stream to open:

  $ vlc "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio"

=== mplayer (https://www.mplayerhq.hu) ===

At your shell, type:

  $ mplayer http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio

=== mpv (http://mpv.io) ===

This one's a little different — wait, no it's not. At your shell, type:

  $ mpv "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio"

=== ncmpcpp (http://rybczak.net/ncmpcpp/) ===

  - In "ncmpcpp", press 2 to access playlists
  - Press a to add a station.
  - Add "http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio" and press enter.

=== SoX ([[http://sox.sourceforge.net/|http://sox.sourceforge.net]]) ===

At the shell:

  $ play -t mp3 http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u

note: the "play" command is part of the "SoX" program.

To make it more useful for ANONRADIO use, it's helpful to put it into a shell script like so:

  "#!/bin/sh -e
  #  anonradio - streams SDF ANONradio via sox(1);
  #  retries automatically if stream dropped
  if [ -x $(which sox) ]; then
    trap 'printf "\n anonradio stream terminated... \n" && exit 0' 2
    clear
    while [ 1 ]
      do clear
      printf "\nSDF ANONradio - http://anonradio.net - ^C to cancel\n"
      sox -V0 -t mp3 http://anonradio.net:8000/anonradio.m3u -d
      sleep 5
    done
  else
    echo 'sox(1) not found or not executable - exiting...'
    exit 1
  fi
  exit 0"

The above script will automatically reconnect to the anonradio stream if it gets dropped due to a DJ change or network abberation. Stream is terminated using the CNTL+C keys. See the "sox(1)" manpage for the full list of options.
