📻 A Note to Our Long-Time Listeners: The Next Evolution of PMRP

For 11 years, this lightweight mpg123 script has provided terminal radio to thousands of users, proudly serving as a default package in antiX Linux. Thank you for listening with me.

Because stability matters, this repository will remain exactly as it is—a testament to minimalism and hardcoded reliability.

However, if you are ready for a modern upgrade, I invite you to discover its newly released successor: PMRP-NG. Completely rewritten for the modern terminal, the new version uses mpv, fzf, and dynamically searches a global API of over 40,000 live radio stations.

Step into the new era of PMRP here.
