internet-radiomplayer
I found out that listening to radio in terminal using "mplayer url" is much better than any software around, but after a while, terminal prints out a message saying low on cache.
How can I increase the cache in the terminal? Is it possible to free the used cache periodically while listening to the radio?
Rhythmbox has an FM Radio plugin that lets you configure radio stations and tune in to them the same way you'd pick other media. You can enable it from Edit -> Plugins, and then add new presets with Music -> New FM Radio Station.
It depends on proper video4linux drivers for the tuner hardware, and expects that the card will handle getting audio to the speakers. I've used it successfully with a tuner that connected through to the line in jack of the sound card. It was necessary to turn on unmute that input with alsamixer -c0 so that the audio passed through to the speakers, but other than that it worked fine.
If your tuner card handles audio in some other way (e.g. it doesn't have a direct connection to the sound card, and instead shows up as a separate sound device), it might not work out of the box though.
Try this.
mplayer http://80.237.154.83:8120
The IP-address of an online radio station can be found over at Xat radio search.
My result :
If your router only works with IPv4, you will need to add the option -prefer-ipv4. More recent mplayer versions require this.
mplayer -prefer-ipv4 http://80.237.154.83:8120

You can set mplayer's cache with
-cacheargument on command line as well as specifying the initial cache fill before playback with '-cache-min'.Try:
p.s. 8192 should be enough, however, you can increase that number according to your needs. Note that the initial cache fill without the '-cache-min' option is only 20%.
