This is the one I saw. It's Internet radio though.
Yes, many radio stations have online livestreams, so you can play radio from any device that can connect to the Internet and has an audio output. You can even play radio from your browser, there is a Firefox extension called Worldwide Radio.
Top bar for real feels like it bloated, could do with a cleanup, but then it be like "well, this one should stay, and this one seems needed. This one's useful and needs an icon here."
Do I need the title to the currently playing media in there? Well… maybe not. BUT… I do need the accessibility icon. I have big text coz otherwise it small, and though it's not like I disable it ever… uhh… it… well, it's on, so… maybe it,,, should be there, okay? I don't know
Displaying the title of the currently playing media sounds useful!
hyfetch and needy streamer overload theme my beloved
GNOME what now?
I mean, if you want radio, just run Pianobar with Pandora, you can drop it in a terminal and it works without even being part of the GUI!.
