I should add that I have used Snowflake to search for, play and add
stations to my favourites, one of my favourite stations 1010 WINS - the
only station of its type in the world - I was able to find this with
Snowflake, play it and its now in my favourites list.
One station in Sydney Australia - Radio 2GB - I couldn't find, I tried
several different search terms but nothing came up, perhaps the station
wasn't in the directory? I honestly don't know and I didn't really
explore the directory however I had the URL for 2GB on hand so I just
used the "Add URL" function of Snowflake, Radio 2GB then started playing
and I added 2GB to my Favourites List.

Sorry, with the dramatic events of yesterday I didn't have a chance
to fully read your eMail, I'll take another look later on this morning.

The Genres view I was in and that’s the default view when the App
starts for the first time, command with a number from 1 to for
takes you to a different view though this might not be available in
the Free version, I must keep reminding myself that I bought the
Pro and you have the Free and their might be considerable
differences between both perhaps?

When you say the view I mention, how do you know which view I
was in? Can you see if any of those stations I mentioned in my
first post come up for you?
If you can get them, then please outline step by step how to
make sure I'm on the same view that you are looking at, and then
how to find the station specifically.
Chris.

I won’t be able to do any demonstrations for a little while,
had a major accident in my kitchen last night, knocked over a
full tin of coffee which burst open onto the floor and I’m
having to both supervise and put into practise the cleaning
operation so its back to the computer for short breaks only at
the moment until the cleaning job is completed but nevertheless
I’ve just had another quick play with Snowflake on my system.
In the view you mentioned, I found that Voiceover started
saying “Busy”, that in itself isn’t an uncommon thing to hear
so I focused to another application, turned Voiceover off,
waited for 5 seconds and then reactivated it again.
I then went back into Snowflake and everything worked as it
should, was able to read the tables etc.

Dane,
Would it be at all possible for you to make an audio demo of
how the app works for you? Perhaps this might clear up any
confusions myself or others are having about how to use it.

Interesting, I’ve been using Snowflake for a few days now and
I don’t have the problems you’ve mentioned with Voiceover and
I certainly can bring up the list.
I’m not doubting you either because someone else brought up
the fact that they were also having issues so I’ve no idea
what’s going on.
For me? Well its been calm sailing I have to admit from the
moment I downloaded Snowflake onto the Mac up until now.

I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but after trying
Snowflake for Mac which was mentioned about a week ago by
Dane here on list, I must say that thus far, I am definitely
not at all impressed. Please see my reasons below. If
anyone would like an audio demo of me illustrating these
facts either 1 for proof, or 2, just so you can hear it in
action, just let me know. I have no issue putting something
together. I’ll be in my studio all day, so it would be easy
enough to do.
Anyway…
1. When I click the genres button with any of the known
methods: vo+space, vo+shift+space after rooting the mouse,
hitting return, hitting space bar, routing the mouse then
literally clicking the trackpad, etc, Voiceover goes
completely busy and no matter what the heck I do, it won’t
become ready again unless I restart Voiceover with
command+F5 to turn it off, then again command+F5 to turn it
back on. Even command+tabbing to another application doesn’t
work.
2. Finally when I *do!* manage to get Voiceover to start
cooperating, I notice that the search button, and the genre
button are both gone. Now, I have a button that says
alternative. As you may or may not have suspected, clicking
it with any of the above mentioned methods does literally
absolutely nothing at all.
3. After clicking the genre button, and unhanging
Voiceover, I find lots of stations in the table which are
related to alternative, but I see absolutely no way to
change the genre, say, from alternative to Christian, or
country, or oldies, or adult contemporary, etc.
4. When I search for a station by hitting the search button
if needed, then going to the edit box, typing my key word
search, then hitting return, nothing at all shows up in the
table. I’ve tried looking for wrcm 91.9 in Charlotte NC,
I’ve tried looking for WLYT 102.9 in Charlotte NC, WLNK
107.9 in Charlotte NC, WSOC 103.7 in Charlotte NC, WKKT 96.9
the Kat in Charlotte NC, WBT 1110 in Charlotte NC, KTAR in
Phoenix AZ, KOA 810 in Denver CO, WSM in Nashville TN, and
have found none of these, which I find incredibly surprising
for an app which apparently clames to have over twenty
thousand stations in its database. I’ll admit that I
haven’t paid for the pro version, which may wind up
including more stations in its database library, however I
see no reference on their web site to this one way or
another. It looks like all I gain from the pro version is
the ability to output my audio to multiple sound devices,
and the ability to access the equalizer, which by the way, I
don’t know either way if that is accessible or not.
So yeah… it sounds to me like there are hardly any stations
in this app which I can find. Plus, I still don’t see a way
to browse by location.
I therefore am not at this time going to be purchasing a
license, that’s for sure.
Now, I am extremely! willing to stand corrected on any of my
notes above. If there is something maybe I’m missing, then
by all means! please please let me know. I’m not seeing
anything, but then again, I’m human. I’ve been known a time
or two to miss certain things, therefore I don’t clame to be
correct in everything. There is that slight chance I’m
missing something, though I’m sceptical of this possibility,
admittedly.
Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the most up to date version,
and yes, I am indeed using Yosemite.
