Radio Tray – Now in Foresight Linux

Filed in Applications , Foresight 5 comments

Radio Tray is an online radio streaming player that runs on a Linux system tray. Its goal is to have the minimum interface possible, making it very straightforward to use.
Radio Tray is not a full featured music player, there are plenty of excellent music players already. However, there was a need for a simple application with minimal interface just to listen to online radios. And that’s the sole purpose of Radio Tray.

Site: http://radiotray.sourceforge.net/

Features

  • plays most media formats (based on gstreamer libraries)
  • bookmarks support
  • easy to use
  • supports Shoutcast/Icecast playlist file formats

To install it in Foresight Linux, open terminal and write:

sudo conary update radiotray=@fl:2-devel

Will be in all repo labels as soon it gets pushed to -qa and stable repo.

What I miss in this application is a way to change the order of the radio channels.  And some small things that i might write to the developer about.

Thanks for adding Radio Tray to the Foresight repositories, and thus increasing my motivation to develop it :)

As for the orderding issue, it makes perfect sense and it will be addressed soon. Meanwhile, a new version will come out by the end of the month with a few fixed issues and increased playlist support.

Sounds real good, the application did get good responses in foresight irc channel and many users seems to like it. And nice to see it gets a feature to change channel list order and more support for playlists.

Keep up the good work.
