Text-based player for Nightride FM synthwave radio.
In this screenshot I am running the player on cool-retro-term to give it a bit more retro flavour.
The player should work on the terminal emulator of your choice however.
NightrideAPI.py
Handles communication with the web audio stream and audio player.

Text interface for radio. Handles user input and communicates that to the API.
AudioPlayer.py
Handles audio player functionality using VLC
settings.ini
Various settings for the player
RGB1602.py

Developed to work on Linux. I might add support for different operating systems later :)

You might want to set your terminal window to 52 colums by 10 rows, as that is the aspect ratio to fit the player perfectly.
