DESCRIPTION
RadioTuner is a Dashboard widget that lets you listen to your favorite radio stations online.

Unlike other radio widgets, RadioTuner lets you customize the list of radio stations. This means, that you can listen to almost any online radio stations (RealPlayer and Windows Media Format). No longer do you need more than one widget to listen to all your favorite radio stations -- enjoy!

COLDFUSION1970  Great widget.

I've added a bunch of my favourite radio stations to it and it works really well.

Two thumbs up.

HENRIKTEKNIK  I have but one wish that would be awesome:

- A display that shows the current track being played (that is, preferably not the stream name, which is already in the station name, but the name of the particular track that's currently playing from within that stream.)

I'm quite sure that this is possible, yes?

But thanks a lot for the nice application so far!

CED  Very nice, but uses way too much processor ressources when not active. Typically 1.4% of my Powerbook G4 1.66 Ghz.

SKOOTS  Love it...as mentioned, the key thing is that it gets the audio player out of your way which is what the function of widgets should be. Highly reccomended.

STEVEN JAY COHEN  Markus has done a wonderful job improving RadioTuner. It is now the only radio widget that I have installed. If a stream is available for both iTunes and Real, I now choose Real so the player can be confined to my dashboard. RadioTuner works wonderfully with Airfoil and my Airport Express, allowing me to listen to music anywhere in my home.

I like the v1.0 skin better than the older one, though it looks a bit pixelated on my screen.

All in all, a great widget!
