back in the ubuntu days I used radiotray, but it seems not to be maintained anymore.
my next question is: is https://github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng/releases/tag/v0.2.9 being maintained? it was last updated nov 10, but the page doesn't list the year.
I've also found some flatpak radio packages. Should I disregard radiotray and try any flatpak radio application?
What I liked of radiotray is that it was minimalist, simply click on it, choose a radio station and that was it, I didn't need to open a whole suite just to listen to radio online. Adding station was also very easy, just pasting a url.
Ehh honestly I just use MPV and store radio stations as m3u files:
#EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,SomaFM - n5MD Radio http://ice6.somafm.com/n5md-128-aac #EXTINF:-1,SomaFM - n5MD Radio http://ice2.somafm.com/n5md-128-aac #EXTINF:-1,SomaFM - n5MD Radio http://ice4.somafm.com/n5md-128-aac #EXTINF:-1,SomaFM - n5MD Radio http://ice1.somafm.com/n5md-128-aac #EXTINF:-1,SomaFM - n5MD Radio http://ice5.somafm.com/n5md-128-aac
I can't compare because I've never used radiotray but goodvibes and shortwave are both quite minimalist.
Well, it might be totally stupid advice, but can't plain simple VLC fit in?
