Radium

Not compatible with Catalina. Crashes immediately upon loading. Developer looks like they're not in business any more — nothing recent on website, no activity on Twitter account since 2017.

all you need to listen to radio stations ...

When's the last time these folks updated their desktop app? Seems kind of nasty to keep selling a product you've abandoned. More and more stations don't work, and developer is completely unresponsive. They used to be helpful. . . .

Is streaming of SiriusXM working for anyone?

Was a nice app once, the current UI is a disaster.

Best radio app for Mac.. Only 4 stars because streaming over AirPortExpress only practical, if you do not use build-in or directly connected speakers simultaneously. You will get an unacceptable delay over the AirPortExpress connected speakers. Airfoil ( https://goo.gl/tR5oVR ) instead of Radiums own streaming feature transfers the sound perfectly in sync.

I had to revert to version 3.0.7 to make it work again.

It just does not work any more. Abandonware?

I love version 2, but since changing computers I can't authorize it and get no response from the developer. Version 3 won't work for me since I have OS 10.8

Is this now abandonware? After releasing this crazy version with the new dysfunctional interface, it doesn't look like the developers have communicated with the outside world about Radium since about December 2015 and the most recent update of the app was a full year ago (August 2015). For the moment, the previous version with the original interface still works, (thank goodness Time Machine allowed me to restore it) but I dread the moment when it no longer does, and would love an update that restores its functionality.

Was very good once, when I bought it, but in El Capitan it just doesn't play any station at all. Total useless now, very bad, sorry.... Like previous replies told you. The GUI is now terrible

The previous version (v2) was a great, minimal menubar app – the current version (v3) is just an annoying, floating window with a menubar icon! The frustrating GUI is a tiny, unresizable pop-up window which needs to be closed manually. Horrible UI/UX, Just sad.

I don't like to diss this developer who has over the years been extremely responsive and conscientious. But this new interface is really annoying, almost enough to make me look elsewhere. Having it in the menubar is great, but why the separate floating window and, most important, why design it so that the window pops up unbidden and randomly. Gotta stop what I'm doing and close it. Have no idea what triggers it to appear but have to believe it's a programming flaw, and so far the developer has been unwilling to either acknowledge or fix it. And that's a bad sign.

If there is such thing as a tragedy in the world of software, this is it. Version 2 was wonderful: an unobtrusive menubar icon that, when clicked, brought down a helpful list of radio stations that you'd tagged as favorites, and could provide lists of its own when you search by categories. The list was unobtrusive and instantly dismissable with the escape key. When you picked a station, you had a full set of standard controls to start and stop play, and a nice buffering system that allowed you to stop for a while and resume where you left off, if you wished. For reasons completely unknown and non-obvious, version 3 replaced the menu bar app with a floating window app that can only be dismissed with a mouse click and a new set of controls missing functions such as a volume control. It's not the end of the world, but what on earth were the developers thinking? They replaced a beautiful, usable concept with a clunky, inconvenient one for no obvious reason whatsoever. Really sad. For shame!

The UI makes absolutely no sense at all, but it currently streams with fewer interruptions than the other streaming app I use (Vox) so I definitely appreciate it for that.

Actually this radio works in Mavericks ( 10.9.5 ). Support is fantastic. I was unable to find a local radio station and support provided me the URL. The price is not that bad albeit it could be about half that asking price. I found that i was unable to create a playlist other then using favorites. The in prgramme help file did not answer my problem and i am somewhat tired of always asking about this or that since the web site is also rather limited. Never the less for my purposes this "radio" works as long as i start up my computer.

Great piece of software, I've been using it every day for quite a long time with great satisfaction but version 3.1 crashes at every start. Do not update. iMac 27 OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

I love the app but it's been broken for me for the past couple months. The developer took 2 weeks to confirm it's broken with all stations that are I Heart Radio based. Since that is all I use the app for it's effectively a brick for me at the moment. The developer gave me no indication as to when or even if this problem will be fixed...

best radio app ever!

I still enjoy using the old Radium 2.8.4 under Mavericks 10.9.2. This developer offers good support, but I believe they have abandoned the Lion and Mountain Lion platforms too soon. I wish they would still sell the old version (license) outside of the MAS.
