Its common problem across all App Store apps, for now. Drives me crazy as well!
This reason alone is what keeps me using VLC for radio playlists.
As a workaround to the missing media keys support because Apple won't allow it: You could provide a little AppleScript interface, so that everyone could configure own global shortcuts with FastScripts. If that makes sense. Don't know if that's possible to implement.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Australians will be forever grateful
Getting a decent list of stations was one of the most frustrating aspects of the project. That and catering for WMA based streams.
As a stop gap we have this in our FAQ:
Radio currently doesn't directly support Airplay.
However, if you'd really like to stream Radio via Airplay, here is a trick you can use:
Hold the Alt-key and click on the Volume icon in the menu bar, a menu will appear showing any available Airplay device. Select your Airplay device and all your sounds will play over Airplay.
(I know the key says "alt" too, but it's smaller type for a reason.)
Nothing was sticking and people were asking me how we were getting on with the "Radio" personal project. I always kinda of imagined the project as making a menubar radio player that "should have shipped with my Mac". So when we noticed that "Radio" itself was available in the App Store, it just resonated with us and stuck.
It doesn't - After adding it (on the favourites tab), I have to go to the stations tab, search for it (which causes UI lag), then mark it a favourite.
Also: lose the spaces between the labels and the ellipsis ("...") on the edit and delete buttons.
Also: Make the "Ok" button the default (enter) on the add new station pane
Could you please update to use SSL/TLS (https) instead? It's for the server authentication, not so much the transit security.
Might like to see description listed next to stations in the fav list drop down from menu bar.
(edit: also, sort by description in All Stations list doesn't work: http://cl.ly/image/3l3M030n1D2m)
