Hi,

Not sure I understood what you meant with 'local radio feed'...

I use mpc and mpd to listen to web radios.
If you install mpc, you will find 2 script files :
/usr/share/doc/mpc/mpd-m3u-handler.sh
/usr/share/doc/mpc/mpd-pls-handler.sh
Running them against a m3u or pls file downloaded from a web radio does the trick.

what i mean by local radio feeds is, to pick up the stations within the area i live or set them.

dmz released RPD (Radio Playing Daemon) a few months ago that might work for you.  It uses mplayer as the backend though.

I use mplayer for this, eg.:

mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4.asx

MPD, and ncmpc as a terminal front-end is a good console based music solution.
