Hi @m04601 ,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trying out tunein-cli! I'm really glad you found the tool useful and practical. And yes, I am the same "tsirysndr" from the GitHub repo. 😊

Feedback on the PKGBUILD You bring up a great point about the GitHub releases. Including additional files like the README.md, LICENSE, and CHANGELOG in the tarball would certainly make it more complete and user-friendly, especially for package maintainers and end users on distributions like Arch. I'll make sure to include these in the upcoming releases so that they can be correctly packaged into /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/licenses. Thank you for pointing this out!

Feedback on the Tool I appreciate your testing and the positive feedback about the tool! It's great to hear you're familiar with other CLI radio tools and that tunein-cli holds up well so far. I look forward to your detailed feedback on GitHub whenever you have more time to share your thoughts. That kind of input helps me improve and prioritize features.

Regarding Radio-Browser I completely agree that Radio-Browser (https://api.radio-browser.info/) is a fantastic, open alternative to TuneIn. I have considered building a tool for it and even thought about extending tunein-cli to support multiple backends, including Radio-Browser.

Adapting the current tool to support Radio-Browser wouldn't be overly complex since its API is well-documented and relatively straightforward. It might require refactoring some parts of the codebase to make the backend pluggable and support different directories. If there's enough interest from the community, I'd be happy to explore this further.

Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback and suggestions. It means a lot, and I'm excited to improve tunein-cli based on it. If you have any other ideas or requests, feel free to share them here or on GitHub!

Thanks for the PKGBUILD !. Very practical for those of us who dont want to compile rust on Arch.

I assume you are also the same "tsirysndr" developer from the github repo ?

Thanks for your work on it. Very, very nice tool !!!

Feedback about the PKGBUILD.

Right now, in github releases, you only produce a tar.gz containing only a binary file.

tar tf tunein_v0.2.6_x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

tunein

Maybe you will also want to add at least the "README.md", "LICENSE", or "CHANGELOD" to that tar.gz

So that in the end, on Archlinux for example , it all ends up in something like

pacman -Ql tunein-cli-bin

/usr/bin/tunein
/usr/share/doc/tunein/README.md
/usr/share/doc/tunein/CHANGELOG
/usr/share/licenses/tunein/Licene

Feedback about the tool.

I have started testing it right now, and I like it a lot.

I am very familiar and tested lotz of other "cli radio" tools.

This one looks very promising. Hope to give you some more personal feedback about it on github.

Big question. tunein.com is big but some how "propietary" radio directory.

There is also "radio-browser" this huge, more open directory and api thing, https://api.radio-browser.info/

Have you considered a rust cli for that ?

Would it be "easy" or "feasoble" to "adapt" this rust cli tool for that ?
