Radio
You're now listening to an FM radio station!
BassBoom provides you with the Internet radio features, such as playing them and getting information about your favorite radio station. You can use the FileTools.OpenUrl()
function to open the MPG123 handle to the radio station URL, assuming that said station uses MPEG and not AAC or other formats. Use the PlaybackTools.Play()
, as usual, to play the radio station.
If you want to get your favorite internet radio station's information, you can use the GetRadioInfo

class in the BassBoom.Basolia.Radio
