# 205 Internet Radio  
### An Internet Streaming Radio using an ESP32, a VS1053 MP3 decoder, and an ILI6341 TFT touch screen  

### See my YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/xrR8EZh2bMI  
An Internet Radio Player for around $20 (without a case) can't be all bad and you get to build it too!

<em>Current version (July 2021)</em>
</p>

**Release V1.38**  
Bug fixes associated with Internet or Wi-Fi failure. Radio recovers better now. For most people this will be totally transparent.

**Release V1.35**  
**Fixed:** BBC HTTP 1v1 vs 1v0 problem (chunked data)  
**Updated:** list of BBC stations  
**Fixed:** A few minor background issues, some debugging messages removed or downgraded  
**Fixed:** Title/Artist font reduced to fit in screen if at all possible  
**New:** Settings screen, work in progress, not yet functional

This **Internet Radio** was written from the ground up so that I could learn how it all worked. As it's now version 1.35 I think it's OK to release onto my unsuspecting YouTube viewers!  

Although we don't really go through the code (there's over 900 lines and counting) I do explain the crux of connecting to a streaming radio URL and how we get the data stream - along with  the Artist and Track information, if you want.
