OK, but when you read my mail more in full, you'll see that I had quite a
significantly long list. Most internet radio based softwares I've tried be
it on the mac, I O S, Android, Windows, whatever, have had at least! some of
them, if not all of them. I almost wonder if maybe somehow I was searching
favorites, and not the whole database, although that theory doesn't make
sense either, as if that was the case, then why was I seeing other stations
that I never ever have heard of, let alone! made favorites of.

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.

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

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.

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.
