+fIcy (icecast/shoutcast stream grabber suite)
+
+fIcy is a small icecast/shoutcast stream grabber suite for use under
+shell environment. Its goal is to automatically rip a stream into
+user customisable files. It will work with ICY compatible streams,
+allowing you to either to save the stream to disk or to pipe the output
+to a media player, or even both. fIcy, among other uses, is ideal for
+batch/unattended recording of radio programs and stream debugging.
+
+The fIcy package includes:
+
+- fIcy itself, a stream separator/multiplexer,
+- fResync, a fast MPEG-resyncing utility,
+- fPls, a playlist frontend for fIcy.
+
+Note: the name "fIcy" has a capital i in it, not a lowercase L. Hard to
+tell in some fonts.
