this addon allows you to play online radio stations and save audio stream to file.
Recording one radio station does not interfere with listening to another radio station.
In addition to Internet catalogs, it is also possible to add a local catalog with m3u files to collections.
To get a local collection, you must specify the base path to the catalog in the settings.
All m3u files in this catalog and all its subdirectories will be checked automatically.
Warnings!
Checking radio stations from collections is a rather lengthy and resource-intensive process.
It is recommended to perform it in parts, periodically closing the window, and rerun it later.
After reopening the collections window, testing will continue until all radio stations have been checked.
Also, the health status of links often changes, so it is recommended to check the health of the link at the moment before adding it to the general list.
