Want to listen to the radio on your Linux desktop but can\u2019t find a radio app with a simple user interface? If so, Raddiola is for you. It\u2019s a simple, easy-to-use radio program that you can use to listen to internet radio on the Linux desktop.<\/p>\n

Enabling the Elementary OS App Center Repo on Linux<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to use Raddiola on your Linux system to extract text images, you need to set up the Elementary OS App Center repo. This software repository runs through Flatpak and is relatively easy to get working.<\/p>\n

To start the setup process for the Elementary OS App Center repo, you must set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer. You\u2019ll be able to set up the Flatpak runtime by following our guide on the subject.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve set up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, it is time to launch a terminal window. A terminal window is required to add this repo to your computer. To open up a terminal window on the desktop, press Ctrl + Alt + T<\/strong> on the keyboard. Or, search for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

With the terminal window open and ready to go, it is time to add the Elementary OS App Center repo to your computer. Using the flatpak remote-add<\/strong> command, add the repo to your system.<\/p>\n

\nflatpak remote-add --user appcenter https:\/\/flatpak.elementary.io\/repo.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With the Elementary OS Flatpak repo enabled on your computer, you\u2019ll now have access to all Elementary OS Flatpak apps inside of App Center. Including Raddiola, which we are using in this guide.<\/p>\n
Installing Raddiola on Linux<\/h3>\n
Installing the Raddiola application is very easy on a wide variety of Linux operating systems, thanks to Flatpak. To get the program working on your computer, open up a terminal window and enter the following flatpak install<\/strong> command below.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install com.github.tenderowl.Raddiola\n<\/pre>\n
Building Raddiola from the source code<\/h3>\n
While we highly suggest installing the Raddiola application on your Linux computer via the App Center Flatpak repository, it is not the only way to get the app working. It turns out the developer has a GitHub page with the program\u2019s source code.<\/p>\n
To get the app working on your system, you will need to do some digging. Sadly, the developer hasn\u2019t listed the official dependencies required to build the program. However, Gnome Builder should be able to detect the dependencies needed and even build it for you with little hassle. For more information about Builder, check out the official Gnome Builder website.<\/p>\n
How to listen to radio on the Linux desktop with ease<\/h2>\n
To listen to the radio on the Linux desktop with the Radiola app, start by launching the program. You can launch the program on the Linux desktop by searching for \u201cRaddiola\u201d in the app menu. Alternatively, launch the program via the terminal with the following command.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak run com.github.alexkdeveloper.raddiola <\/pre>\n
With the Raddiola application up and running, you will see a list of stations to choose from in the app. There is \u201cTrancemission,\u201d \u201cClassical Music,\u201d \u201cNonStopPlay,\u201d \u201cFlip Radio,\u201d \u201cJoy Radio,\u201d \u201cMusic Radio,\u201d \u201cLive-icy,\u201d \u201cDubstep,\u201d \u201cRadio Electron,\u201d and \u201cJazz Legends.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Find the station you wish to listen to in the Raddiola application and select it with the mouse. Once you\u2019ve chosen your radio station of choice, click on the play button to start listening to the station.<\/p>\n
To stop listening to the station you\u2019ve selected in the Raddiolla, click on the stop button. Selecting the stop button will immediately stop the playback.<\/p>\n
Adding stations<\/h3>\n
The Raddiolla application supports adding custom radio stations. So, if you have an internet radio station you wish to listen to, but it isn\u2019t in Raddiola, you can add it quite easily.<\/p>\n
To add a custom radio station to Raddiola, find the \u201c+\u201d button in the app and click on it with the mouse. When you click on the \u201c+\u201d button, Raddiola will show you a window with two text boxes.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
In the \u201cName\u201d text box, type in the name of the radio station you are adding to the app. Then, in the \u201cURL\u201d box, paste the radio station\u2019s URL. When both text boxes are filled out, click on the \u201cOK\u201d button to add your new station to Raddiola.<\/p>\n
Removing stations<\/h3>\n
Are you tired of specific radio stations in the Raddiola app? Want to remove them? Here\u2019s how you can.<\/p>\n
First, find the radio station you wish to remove from the Raddiola app. Then, select the station with the mouse. After you\u2019ve chosen the station with the mouse, choose the \u201c-\u201d button.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Selecting the \u201c-\u201d should remove the station. Feel free to repeat this process to remove as many radio stations as you need to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
