fIcy is a command line icecast and shoutcast audio stream grabber.

fIcy is an icecast/shoutcast stream grabber suite for use under shell environment. Its goal is to cleanly and automatically rip a stream into user customisable files.

It will work with ICY compatible streams, allowing you to either to save the stream to disk or to pipe the output to a media player, or even both. fIcy, among other uses, is ideal for batch/unattended recording of radio programs and stream debugging.

The fIcy package includes:

fIcy itself, a stream separator/multiplexer,
fResync, a fast MPEG-resyncing utility,
fPls, a playlist frontend for fIcy.

Usage:

Synopsis:

fIcy [options] < server [port [path]]|url >

The main program. Takes directly a stream url and dumps the tracks on the specified file/s and standard output, depending on the settings.

fPls [options] < file|url > [fIcy options]

Playlist manager. Reads a playlist (local or remote) and manages fIcy retries/timeouts/errors, forwarding the specified flags.

fResync [options] file

MPEG resyncing utility. Re-aligns head frame headers on dumped or broken files. Usually needed for embedded hardware decoders or editing software.

What's New in This Release:
Relaxed redirection checks.
Exit with success after recording time is elapsed.
Some code cleanup.
