Dear internet radio stations - Firstly, trying to force me to listen in the stupid browser doesn't fly with me, AT ALL

Ha, found you, bitch! http://s1.nexuscast.com:8145
...and a whole bunch are just different port numbers!
MWA HAHAHAHAHA!!!
*listens without the fucking web browser!*Glad you cracked the case.

*listens without the fucking web browser!*Don't mind me. I just derive a sense of power from using something my way when the company doesn't want me to.
It's the same feeling when I figure out the trick to rip a DVD the publisher obfuscated. -
@Brett_E_Carlock And another trick if you like a bunch of stations from one place...
Examine the URL you got. Some places it's real obvious what to change to get the other stations.
Radio Paradise has this pattern. If you got the Rock mix, swap the word "rock" for the word "global" to get their global mix@hellomiakoda
Sweet, thanks for taking the time for teaching out!Gonna try it now.

Second, I will find your stream URL. I don't think you understand how determined I am to pick apart your stupid bullshit web player and get the the steam URL. Oh, you split it up in to tiny bits in there? Too bad, I reassembled it and put it in my radio software!@hellomiakoda worse than that is DOWNLOAD OUR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAPP!!!
FUCK YOUR APP.
I will use my damn browser AND leave my adblocker on, thanks.
I have a fabulous old 1970s Panasonic multiband AM/FM/shortwave radio that works great. It has a range of about 1200 miles in the US on summer nights.
IHeartRadio and Audacy has shit up terrestrial AND internet radio and need to be beheaded.

@Brett_E_Carlock Stream URLs have a certain pattern to them that you'll learn over time. I'm not sure how to describe that pattern in detail, but some clues are ending in a port number ( :8145 for example), or having some sort of radio term
If you get a PLS or an M3U, a lot of internet radio players won't work with that. Instead, download that m3u or pls file. Open the file as a text file in kate, notepad, mousepad, or even nano. You'll find your actual stream URL in there.
@Brett_E_Carlock
If you're comfy in the linux terminal, there's a faster way to get the stream URL out of a pls or m3u link.$ lynx --dump <url of pls or m3u>
Example
$ lynx --dump https://somafm.com/insound130.pls -

$ lynx --dump https://somafm.com/insound130.pls@Brett_E_Carlock btw, if you see multiple URLs in a pls or m3u that appear to play the same station, that's so it starts the "next station" if there's a disconnect. If it's the same station but different URLs, that just means they have a back up stream. Use whichever.

@Brett_E_Carlock Ah, I missed one thing - the split apart URLs!
If you find a stream URL that plays nothing or errors, and it's like radio.shittycompany.com, look for variables like "station name" or "steam" or "program" or something like that. Also look for anything that appears to be a sub folder and bitrate.
Then reassemble.
It'll usually look something like
radio.shittycompany.com/US/cool-music-128 -

@hellomiakoda years ago I briefly knew an opera singer/massage therapist from the midwest whose online name was "miakoda." You're probably not her, but the name caught my attention.
If you ARE her...

@the_turtle Nope, I'm not a massage therapist, and if I attempt to sing, people will wish they were deaf.
Good to know somebody else never got to have personalized anything from road trips. lol

@Brett_E_Carlock It's different for different web players (and there are a few I haven't figured out yet). Get to a page of the player and as little else as possible (ie - if they offer a pop up version, go there). View source. Rule out the quick possibilities using find for the following terms (seperately):
http (nobody gives a crap on encrypting a radio)
"cast"
"stream"
"pls"
"m3u"
"mp3"
"listen"
"aac"If that finds a URL, great. Try that. If not, read the HTML carefully
@hellomiakoda @Brett_E_Carlock Eyeballing the network inspector is also often a great way to find it quickly, by seeing the request as it gets made

@saltywizard I'm aware, but there are tons that aren't in there

There's a much larger chance of having curl or wget installed. -

There's a much larger chance of having curl or wget installed.@leeloo @Brett_E_Carlock Ok. There's an even larger chance people are still running Windows and can ask CoPilot to just decide what they'll listen to. Doesn't make it relevant to my instructions.

They have an in-browser player and some apps that will download chunks for offline listening, but they also have URLs for streams in FLAC, AAC, Vorbis, and MP3 formats.
If a radio station made it hard for me to listen to them, I think I'd just not listen to them, recommend them, or ever discuss them other than to say 'I tried to listen to them but it was too hard, they must hate their listeners'.

@david_chisnall Soma is the bulk of my internet listening since canceling Spotify.

Let us control our own sound!
