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

my next question is: is github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng/releases/…/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.

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

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

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.

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.

Ehh honestly I just use MPV and store radio stations as m3u files:
