dependencies

• This program requires notify-send on your system.

For archlinux, install libnotify:

$ sudo pacman -S libnotify

• It also requires a notification server, generally built-in if you use 'big' desktop environments like gnome or kde.

Alternatively, you can use dunst (https://dunst-project.org/)

• playing the radio stream is configurable, vlc is used by default. you can use ffplay (from ffmpeg), mplayer, or any cli player capable of playing http streams.

• of course this program requires python 3+ installed in your system.
