Marginal to you, maybe. But there are people who are happy to spend more on a standalone internet radio than I would pay for a reasonably specified computer. They don't want the complication. > I just wonder why it would be the best internet radio player. I recommend to > add an i infront of "RadioTray" -> "iRadioTray". Yes, this is important for people who don't get as far as the one-line description of the package (Description: online radio streaming player), let alone the paragraph: "Description-en: online radio streaming player This is a simple music streaming player that lives on the system tray. By clicking on the RadioTray icon, you'll be presented with a list of pre-configured online radios. By selecting one of those radios, it will start playing." > It would not be > pretending to be something it is not, because radio is something that is > being broadcasted on air. the one from the internet is internet radio. Um, you just wrote, without a hint of proscription: "When I read first this post I was thinking there is an app for controlling radio receiver but it turns out it is online radio - WTF! online radio is not a radio like terrestrial broadcast. Each online radio offers nowdays a HTML5 stream, which can be automatically played by any HTML5 compatible browser." Cheers, David.
