Versions:
TERA 3.11.0, published by Shinokada, is a lightweight, terminal-based internet radio player designed for users who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and minimal resource usage. Occupying the Network & Internet—Streaming Media category, the application opens a text-only interface through which listeners can search, browse, and immediately play thousands of global online radio stations without leaving the command line. Station directories are fetched from community-maintained sources such as radio-browser.info, and streams are handled by the ubiquitous mpv backend, ensuring wide codec compatibility and stable playback. Because everything runs inside a terminal window, TERA is popular among developers, remote-shell users, and owners of low-spec or headless machines who want uninterrupted music while they work. Typical use cases include keeping news or music running in a tmux pane on a development server, adding background audio to a Raspberry Pi media corner, or simply avoiding the memory footprint of graphical players on older laptops. The program is controlled entirely by single-key shortcuts—search, bookmark, volume, record, and quit—so playlists can be built and edited without a mouse. Configuration is stored in plain text, making it easy to sync favorites across machines with Git or rsync. Since its first appearance, the project has progressed through 21 public releases; version 3.11.0 refines station caching, improves UTF-8 display handling, and updates the embedded user-agent string for broader stream compatibility. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
