radio-stream/examples/basic/basic.js

An interface for connecting to, parsing metadata, and reading from SHOUTcast/Icecast radio streams

/**
 * This example script will attempt to connect to a random station
 * in the "radioStations.json" file, parse the metadata, and write
 * the clean, raw audio data to 'stdout'. Metadata and other debug
 * info gets printed to 'stderr'.
 *
 *   Usage:
 *     node examples/basic/basic.js > out.mp3
