nightride-cli

Nightride FM - the synthwaviest radio now inside your terminal, hackerman!!

This client establishes a direct uplink to Nightride FM via global packet infrastructure (internet). Audio is streamed, decoded locally and sent directly to your machine's audio output using low-level access through Go's sound libraries.

Built for the command line frontier.

Features:

• All radio stations directly accessible from the terminal
• No need for extra audio players
• Support for Discord Rich Presence
