From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

back in the ubuntu days I used radiotray, but it seems not to be maintained anymore.

my next question is: is https://github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng/releases/tag/v0.2.9 being maintained? it was last updated nov 10, but the page doesn't list the year.

I've also found some flatpak radio packages. Should I disregard radiotray and try any flatpak radio application?

What I liked of radiotray is that it was minimalist, simply click on it, choose a radio station and that was it, I didn't need to open a whole suite just to listen to radio online. Adding station was also very easy, just pasting a url.

If it doesn't say the year it means Nov 10 this year. The page you linked shows last release was 2 weeks ago for me.

I recently tried shortwave (flatpak) and it works pretty well. Let's you search for public streams, and if the radio stream includes song data, it even auto records individual tracks for you if you want. Pretty minimalist and functional

When I open your link for radiotray-ng, it says, "ebruck released this 2 weeks ago." You'll also notice if you go to the Releases page, it doesn't show the year for the current year, but does for past years.

I can't compare because I've never used radiotray but goodvibes and shortwave are both quite minimalist.

Well, it might be totally stupid advice, but can't plain simple VLC fit in?
