Appreciate all of that @rgio!

After a series of infrastructure changes, most notably the "coming unglued" of the iPad 2 i ran RP through (literally the screen is off the front...I think the battery swelled)... and all of the discussion around "I'm leaving".... and the insular nature of the discussion on these boards...  I decided to downloaded this app.

Works great.  Really well done.

Simple, quick, laid out well.  I'm not sure which audio setting I'm on (low, high, etc.), but sounds good.  Thanks. 

For anyone possibly interested...here's a quick look at where it sits on the mac and how it works.  Link

Last comment to Ryan... I like the rybr.dev home page.

Thanks for the work!

The app has now been updated to support streaming all the main RP stations: Main Mix, Mellow Mix, Rock Mix, Global Mix, Beyond..., Serenity, and Radio 2050.

The update is available on the Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radio-paradise-streaming-live/id6748835935

or for direct download on GitHub: https://github.com/rybr-dev/radio-paradise-macos/releases

Happy streaming.

Hi all — 

Long time RP fan here, going on over two decades now (!!). I just wanted to share a little side project I've been working on: a new Radio Paradise app for Mac. It's a clean, minimalist little player that sits in your Mac menu bar.

Currently it streams the Main Mix, and has some handy features:

• Shows the currently-playing artist and track, including album art
• Allows you to view or share the currently-playing track (links to radioparadise.com)
• Allows you add the currently-playing track to an Apple Music playlist 

Still on the list, among other things:

• Support more RP stations
• Support falling back for slower connections (right now this just streams the buttery-quality 320kbps stream, which may lag on slower connections)

The app is completely free, and is available on the Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radio-paradise-streaming-live/id6748835935

It is also available to download directly on GitHub: https://github.com/rybr-dev/radio-paradise-macos/ — just click the Releases link on the right side and download the latest zip file.

I'll try to follow messages here, but feature requests, issues, questions, etc should all be added to the Issues list on GitHub. That makes them easy to track and for the community to read what's been submitted. Plus the app is open-source (i.e. the code is public) â€” I encourage other developers to read the feedback and contribute code and improve the app. I do plan to make regular updates and respond to community feedback, though please understand this this isn't my day job, so I can't respond to every bit of feedback or add every requested feature. I will definitely do my best to respond. :)

The app is a labor of love for me. I've been using it every day for a few weeks now, and it's "opinionated" in the sense that this is how I like listening to RP. Simple, minimalist, with no web browser or bulky music player needed. If you want to support ongoing development, there's a link to buy me a coffee, but if you're going to choose where to put your dollars/euros/pesos/rupees, please support RP!

ENJOY!!

Ryan

P.S. The app is not supported or published by Radio Paradise, but I have communicated with the RP team and they gave me the thumbs-up to publish it. It may, or may not, appear in the Apps list on the site at some point soon.
