EDITOR NOTES
RadioRocker has been discontinued. The company is no longer in business (as of 9/16/09).
DESCRIPTION
RadioRocker is the simple way to listen to terrestrial radio on your Mac. This isn't a streamer for internet radio, RadioRocker contains over 5,000 stations from across the United States. Choose what state and choose the station and you're off and running.

RadioRocker is perfect if you want to listen to a sporting event in another state or town. For instance: if you're from Massachusetts and you miss listening to WBZ NewsRadio 1030 for all your news, simply pull up the list for Massachusetts, double-click on WBZ. All of a sudden you're listening to WBZ right on your Mac.

Want to listen to a game in Pittsburgh? Select Pennsylvania as the state and choose your favorite station. Like the mix of a station in California, but you live in Virginia, select California as the state and choose the station.

Want to go to the stations website and check out any promotions or learn more about the disc jockeys or anything. Simply click the globe next to the digital readout and you'll instantly go to that stations website.

Presets, just like in your car radio... You can assign presets of your favorite stations to the 6 preset buttons in the player window. Click "Manage Preset Buttons" in the "File" menu or use Command+P. Choose which button you want to assign to the song currently playing. Instantly the preset will be set and you can customize the name of the button. Next time you launch RadioRocker just click your preset button, just like on your car stereo and you'll be listening to the station you like instantly.

JAZZYGUY  The Codec request thing has been fixed on the new version.The fill cache thing though goes on and on.Great that this is now freeware.The Devealoper did his best with this app and has tried hard to please his registered users.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  From the developer's site today:

"Due to circumstances beyond our control, Whimsicaly Plucky Software has to close it’s doors. I’d ike to take this opportunity to thank al of the users of BackityMac, RadiioRocker, DochChanger and VideoVangeist for their patronage. There is a possibility we may open the doors again one day. Until then I’ve updated all the products to remove all registration requirements and they are all now FREE. Any versions previous to these listed will no longer activate. You may stil email me if you wish, however, no further support for the products will be offered.

Sincerely,

DJ MacIntosh

JAZZYGUY  CODECS anyone????? The darn thing keeps asking to install additional codecs no matter how often you have previously installed them. This could drive you bananas!!!

BHOFF  Sorry, but this app has been worthless since being upgraded to version 2.x. I just did a clean install of Snow Leopard and it still gives the "Filling cache..." message and never connects to a station. The author is completely unresponsive. At this point I'd just like my money back.

BHOFF  Still does the "Filling cache..." thing forever. The player never starts. I guess it's time to cut my losses and move on.

JAZZYGUY  This is a GREAT application and well worth the money! I especially like the way it does the recording of the station selected. Excellent in every way!

DJMAC317  I've updated RadioRocker to 2.0.1 and recompiiled the engine as a universal binary. Make sure you also install the additional codecs in the Help menu. This enables the streaming engine.

LENSMAN  Doesn't work for me on a G5 DP 2GHz running OS X 10.5.7. I get a "Loading ... Filling Cache" message forever for every station I try. Good thing I didn't pay the $10 for this.

MISHA  Tried out 2.0, first time I've checked out this app... first annoying thing: radio stations are only organized by State, and you can't fine tune that list further (by city or region).

Second annoying thing: you can't sort the stations, be it by frequency or call name.

Third annoying thing: when I went to play a station (any station), all I get is "RRMplayer unexpectedly quit."

Hmm..
