iSongs-RadioText is a small Java application displaying the song currently playing on the radio.
It was extracted from the old iSongs project in 2014 and further developed as a standalone application.
iSongs-RadioText was rewritten in 2019 and 2023.
In order to get started, simply download the latest release here and install it.
You can build iSongs-RadioText yourself using Gradle.
Make sure you have installed a Java Development Kit in version 22 or higher. It should include jmods.
Note
On Linux the package rpm-build (Red Hat Linux) or fakeroot (Ubuntu Linux) is
needed to create an installation archive.
On macOS the Xcode command line tools are required for creating an installation image.
The following command creates an installation image for your platform:
./gradlew deployAfter running the above command successfully, you can install the generated installation archive.
The songs are recognized by querying the JSON file from the web player of your radio station.
