ZOMG vs. libre.fm

This is about two things that are not robust.

zomg, as of version 0.5.7, can play libre.fm radio streams without modification. It does not do this particularly well.

As of today a second type of libre.fm radio stream is available, so I will give two illustrative examples:

• To play free music tagged 'Blues' (note that almost none of this is actually blues),

  zomg -r librefm://globaltags/Blues

• To play free music performed only by Abscondo (note that the "similarartists" is there to mislead you):

  zomg -r librefm://artist/Abscondo/similarartists

These stations lack the intelligence to avoid annoying duplication or much of anything but randomization. However, both zomg and libre.fm are free software, and anyone can chip in and improve this if desired.

In other news, the state of client support has moved a bit, though not as much as one might have hoped. You can get a picture of that here.
