NostalgicRadio
by County
NostalgicRadio puts a playable radio in the game, tuned to modified tracks from titles such as Minecraft, Undertale, Fallout and Silent Hill.
What it does
The radio is meant to bring back the feel of older games, with melodies that tie into nostalgia and a retro atmosphere for players who miss the music of past titles. Its soundtracks are drawn from the games and artists it names, including C418's Minecraft volume alpha, Wet Hands, Subwoofer Lullaby, SMORT, Old Doll, Fallen Down, Fallout 1 and Ink Spots. Players can also insert their own music to add more tracks to the playlist.
The author plans a radio signal system and a set of radio-related events that would react to a player's listening. These are future plans only and are not part of the current release. NostalgicRadio is published for Forge, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Let it play is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it has the same environment and license as NostalgicRadio. Frigid Original Soundtracks is also Forge for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, but it is client-side only, so servers can run without it. Net Music: Radio Addon is Forge for 1.20.1, client and server, and released under the MIT License, while NostalgicRadio is not open source.
