Shell.FM is a console-based audio player that allows users to stream Last.FM radio. It is lightweight and easy to use, enhancing the overall listening experience.
Users of Shell.FM get to enjoy extra features like a robust network interface that allows them to control shell-fm remotely, an autoban option that bans all tracks from an artist they don't like, and station bookmarking that enables quick navigation to saved stations with a single keystroke. These are just a few examples of the additional features that make Shell.FM stand out from the competition.
To run Shell.FM, you need to have the following software installed: libmad and libao (optional). The installation process is simple and straightforward. Start by running the "make" command, followed by "make install" as a root user. You can also access per-user setup information by reading the manual.
It's essential to note that the Makefile comes with default parameters. The default parameters set /usr as destdir and $DESTDIR/man as MANDIR. However, you can override these parameters using the command line. For instance, users of Debian/Ubuntu systems might prefer to have their manuals in /usr/share/man. In such cases, they would customize the installation command as follows: $ make install DESTDIR=/usr MANDIR=/usr/share/man.
In this release, Shell.FM has undergone specific improvements. The developer has fixed the Makefile, which had a broken libao detection feature, and addressed the -D option by using the right macro for libao support. Consequently, users can expect an even better experience when using Shell.FM.
