If you can specify them, it is likely that the underlying stream URLs can be extracted so that you don't need to deal with TuneIn. > I run DOS on my computers.

I'm sorry to tell you that this is incorrect. FreeDOS is a single user, single-thread, single-processor operating system, specifically built to be compatible with MS DOS, which was a single user, single-thread, single-processor OS. > www.freedos.org > Currently I ssh, from DOS, into various Linux focused shell services. > If successful I will ssh into a Linux shell, but on a different drive of my > own machine, local as you state here. That's not a thing which can happen as you describe. However! Your goal, as described, can be handled in another way. Linux can manage the machine and run FreeDOS in a virtual machine session under Linux. (You can run many such sessions at the same time.) Each virtual machine's "disk" will actually be a file in the Linux machine's filesystem. The reliable, built-in tool for doing this is called KVM/QEMU. There are various toolkits on top of this to make management easier, including Incus, LibVirt, and others. Incus and libvirt both have complete command-line clients that do not require GUIs. Another possibility just occurred to me. Keep your existing DOS machine, and put a new Linux machine next to it. With speakers plugged into the Linux machine, you can use the familiar DOS machine to SSH in to the Linux machine, and have your radio streams played to those speakers. -dsr-
