As a XMMS user i can't see (yet) the titles of songs while listening to streaming radios. So i wrote a simple script to see what's on radiostorm.com anytime.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use LWP::Simple;
[download]

my $urlmask = 'http://radiostorm.com/%s';

my %pls;

my $config = <<EOF;
News//ap24.pls
80s/80s.js/80s128.pls
Classic Rock/classic.js/classic128.pls
Alternative/alt.js/alt128.pls
Hip-Hop/hh.js/hiphop128.pls
Pop Top 40/pop.js/pop128.pls
Hard Rock/hr.js/hr128.pls
EOF

my @radio = map {my @t = split "\/", $_;
                  {caption => $t[0] ,js => $t[1], pls => $t[2]}
                } split "\n", $config;

my $template = "%12s  %s\n" . ' ' x 14  . "%s\n";

while (1) {
    for (@radio) {
        printf $template, $_->{caption}, getjs($_->{js}), getpls($_->{
+pls});
    }
    print "\n" . ('- _ ' x 20) . "\n\n";
    sleep 60;
}

sub getjs {
    my $js = shift;
    return unless $js;
    my ($t) = mget($js) =~ /"([^"]+)"/;
    return $t;
}

sub getpls {
    my $pls = shift;
    unless ($pls{$pls}) {
        my $file = mget($pls);
        my $num = $file =~ s/^(File\d=)/$1/gm;
        ($pls{$pls}) = $file =~ m!File$num=(.+)!;
    }
    return $pls{$pls};
}

sub mget {
    return get sprintf($urlmask, shift);
}

UPDATE: caching using %pls now makes sense :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
