Raspberry Salad…

…or Groovy Pi.
One of my favorite internet radio stations is soma fm, and in particular, their Groove Salad station.  I figured what better to do than to turn my Raspberry Pi into a Groove Salad music streamer.

After searching the internets, I came upon MPlayer, which you can execute via the command-line.  To install on the Pi:

$ sudo apt-get install mplayer

Then to start streaming Groove Salad via it’s playlist:

$ mplayer http://streamer-dtc-aa01.somafm.com:80/stream/1018

I got the address info by downloading the pls file from soma fm, opening it in a text-editor and extracting that line.

Plug in some headphones (or better yet, hook it to your stereo), and you’re good to go!

    Hi,

    quick question. Why did you use mplayer? How about other clients which are lighter/slimmer, like mpg123?

  1. At the time (+4 years ago) it seemed like a legit option. I’m guessing more have come about in the meantime 😉
