Yes, I like Radium too, although I wish since the Australian Open tennis tournament is now on that they have the radio station for it. For that I have to go to Tunein's website to listen to it. It would be nice if I could listen to it outside Safari if I wanted to listen to it on my Mac but oh well. Also, it wouldn't hurt to install flash. I know for me that I like to go on websites that offer live TV streams for channels like ESPN 2 and such and I haven't found websites that stream in HTML 5. I would be up for any suggestions as to websites that offer streams in this format because I like being able to watch stuff on my TV using my Xbox 360 and it doesn't support flash. If this is getting off topic, then by all means, write me off list. As for Adium, yes, I do notice that the built in speech can sometimes be annoying. To counter this, I use an app called Growl which has it's own options for speech. You can also silence it by pressing control if you have Voiceover on. It's $1.99 and works well with Yosemite.
