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.

    OSSIE  In one place on this screen you say "completey free" and then you charge money? For a buggy as can be app? That is clearly in it's earliest stages? Perhaps the issues are beyond the developers' control. Whatever. Did they not try the app themselves? Are seriously expected to believe they have sufficient success to warrant this version (1.2.2) to be considered a full, ready for prime-time release.?

    I sure do hope they get it sorted.

    Specific issues, in no particular order: too many stations do not connect (may have to do workaround of actually hitting play button), no installer, data in stations window not sortable, trial is one hour (one time), payment required at this early stage of development.  (Version 1.2.2)

    RG2  Keep working on it guys, you've got a long way to go. First of all, you can't change the view-by of each column. If you don't know the call letters of the station, you've got to search through the non-alphabetical list of city, genre, etc. Then, when you finally find the one you want, it won't even play! What a wast of time.  (Version 1.2)

    FROSTBYTE  I'm directing this here as I can't find a contact for feedback on the Developers website. This looks promising. I'm willing to be patient as the Developer works through issues. However, after trying the program with spotty, off and on performance my "1 hour trial" is up. I won't buy something that doesn't work very well, but would also like to keep checking up on it. The Developer might want to rethink his 1 hour limit on this work in progress.   (Version 1.1.2)
