I don't have my collection of music in the office. Last.fm no longer offers its great radio.
Luckily, there are tons of tracks on youtube.
Luckily, I use linux and incredibly powerful mpd player, so I don't have to keep youtube open
Suppose, you want to listen to some vocal trance on youtube.
Use youtube-dl to determine what formats are available
There are 5 audio formats for this video. 141th has highest bitrate. So all we have to do, is to get real URL for this format and feed it to mpd
That's all, track from youtube is already in your mpd playlist. Enjoy!
