A convenient way to save the tracks you like

If there is a track available that you really like, just press Ctrl+S to save the name of the file to the TrackFile.

Wtf is a TrackFile ?

A trackfile is a text file. Every time there is a song title in the header, you can save the current track name to the TrackFile.

I am pressing Ctrl+S and nothing is added to TrackFile ? wtf ?

3 reasons are possible:

  • You are not playing anything
  • The webradio you are listening to doesn't provide metadata that the player can decode (sad).
  • The TrackFile have been deleted, the TrackFile' permission doesn't allow Radioboat to write/open that file.

(or it's a bug)

wtf i am gonna do with thoses track names ?

You could pipe thoses track names to youtube-dl or another script (to add them to your spotify "Liked Songs" if you need inspiration)
