I have these three aliases in my ~/.bashrc: alias somafm='mplayer -really-quiet -vo none -volume 128 -playlist http://somafm.com/groovesalad.pls' alias goa

  Nice :) Doesn't `volume 128` saturate sound though ?

    No, if I don’t set it that high the volume is much lower than the system volume.

    I have a 2009 Mini connected to a Creative Labs 2.1 and it does. But then, there's a Lenovo Yoga from like 2016 that plugs into a pair of SOLO7c and that doesn't. Different stations I start with volume 55-85, they don't all have the same loudness (genre related, no doubt). But the use for radio is for me "fill space, drown out distractions, provide flow" so that I don't need it loud. I'm not actively listening to radio. I didn't choose the song. And that's the point.
