SomaFM Tuner

Yes, SomaFM Rulez people!

But then its quite annoying to use their interface, at least for me.

Using Linux everyday and everywhere, there are better ways to listen to them.

So I have created one "SomaFM Tuner" where I can click some buttons, change stations and automatically make it play on my Audacious.

It is a simple script using GTK Dialog. Here it is:

#!/bin/bash

# while true; do

GTKDIALOG=gtkdialog
export MAIN_DIALOG='

<window title="SOMAFM Menu" icon-name="gtk-about" resizable="true" width-request="400" height-request="300">

$GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG

Just create a file somewhere in your path, make it executable (if necessary install the dependencies like GTK Dialog) en voila!
