Shell-fm – Console based player for last.fm radio streams

shell-fm is a lightweight, console-based player for Last.FM radio streams. It’s pretty small (the binary is currently about 70K, or about 60K when stripped) and it has most features the official player has, if not even a few more. Additional features are, for example:

network interface (control shell-fm remotely)
autoban (automatically ban all tracks of an artist you don’t like)
bookmark stations (quickly jump to bookmarked stations with a single key)
… probably more

Install Shell-fm on ubuntu

Open the terminal and run the following command

sudo apt-get install shell-fm
