Re: Radio tuner aps for the Mac
Another interesting thing about this app is it will also play SiriusXM channels. Just another alternative for doing this.

RE: Radio tuner aps for the Mac
Thank you very much for this. I finally got back to trying this today and it seems to work pretty good.

Re: Radio tuner aps for the Mac
Hi Frank, I've only played with the trial version of Radium, but if you are using TrackPad Commander, you can navigate to the Radium icon in the Dock and double tap on the TrackPad to bring up the menu. You'll be in the search field, and can type in the station you want, and flick to the menu button and other controls to configure shortcuts and preferences. However, I'm used to using keyboard shortcuts, and if you don't want to use TrackPad Commander, once you launch Radium, you can just press Command+comma to bring up the preferences menu, then navigate to the "Controls" tab, and interact with the table of keyboard shortcuts, checking the boxes for any that you want to activate. Among these will be a shortcut to start/stop Radium (Command+Shift+E by default). Once this is checked, and the preferences window is closed, using this shortcut will take you to the search field in the Radium menu and allow you to start a search for a station, or else access the other parts of the menu (e.g. view the last selected station, resume playing, check it to mark as a favorite, access the menu button for other options including setting preferences, etc.) The keyboard shortcut of Command+Shift+E toggles open and closed the menu window that you would normally get by clicking the Radium icon on the status menu bar. (If you want to change this to a different keyboard shortcut, in the table on the "Controls" pane in the "Preferences" menu where you checked the box for the "Start/Stop Radium" option, use VO-Space on the column listing the keyboard shortcut, then type in a new shortcut sequence.)

RE: Radio tuner aps for the Mac
Ah OK I have found that if you COMMAND TAB to Radium and open the Windows menu and down arrow to Radium you can type in a station to search for. Is there a shortcut key combo that can get me there as well?

RE: Radio tuner aps for the Mac
Thanks for the recommendation. Can anyone tell me how to operate this with VO. From my understanding it should sit in the menu bar. I can't seem to find it in any menu. When I launch the Radium app from the apps folder it just Radium has no Windows. I don't see anything helpful in the help menu. Is there a tutorial somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.
