## usage

```sh
# clone
git clone https://i47i.unix.id.lv/i47i/radio-stations.git

# drop into pyradio config
cp stations.csv ~/.config/pyradio/stations.csv

# or symlink it
ln -sf "$(pwd)/radio-stations/stations.csv" ~/.config/pyradio/stations.csv

# optional: use the mpv config for volume normalization
cp config/mpv.conf ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf

# launch
pyradio
```

all streams are direct (icecast, HLS, shoutcast, .pls) — no youtube, no wrappers, no auth needed.

## mpv config

`config/mpv.conf` includes EBU R128 loudness normalization (`af=loudnorm`) so volume stays consistent across stations. copy it to `~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf` or merge the `af=loudnorm` line into your existing config.
