Alpine as a replacement for iTunes

Hi folks, my installation of Alpine Linux serves one purpose - an iTunes replacement. So with that in mind, just quick heads up for those who enjoy the command line & listen to podcasts.

Here's a blurb...

Cmdpod (command pod) is a command line podcatcher that plays, downloads and streams your favorite podcast feeds. Written in classic Bourne shell script, cmdpod happily runs under most operating systems including: BSD, Linux, OSX and Busybox for Windows.

Rationale...

. Cross platform/OS agnostic script

. Lite-weight -scriptable- podcatcher

. Feed files based on the current day of the week: friday.cpx, saturday.cpx, etc...

. No fuss

You'll need...

. wget

. mpg123

. soundcard

. dosfstools (if you download podcasts to an external mp3 player)

Bottom line...

Its a very much a tool best suited to command line user's, so you'll need to be comfortable in that domain to benefit from its use.

Welp, back to work for me - work hard & make your mother proud! =)
