Radio is an application that does not show up in the Dock; it lives in your OSX Menu Bar, near the clock. If it runs it shows up there as three concentric circles. See the image at the top of this page.

Radio currently doesn't directly support Airplay.

However, if you'd really like to stream Radio via Airplay, here is a trick you can use:

Any stream that plays can be recorded. All recordings are in MP3 format and not restricted in any way.

No, currently you cannot schedule recordings directly within Radio. However, there is a way to schedule recordings with Radio using Automator and iCal. The step-by-step description can be found here.

Your recordings are saved to your User directory at:
~/Music/Radio

All recordings are saved in mp3 format, indepent of the original stream format. Your recordings are saved with a filename that is a combination of a timestamp and the radio station's name. The location of the recordings is your User directory at:
~/Music/Radio

You can only edit and delete stations that you added yourself. The global library of streams that comes with Radio cannot be edited or deleted, so if you did not add any custom stations, these buttons are greyed out.

We're sorry to hear that. It could be anything from technical issues at the station to a glitch on our end.

Radio supports the following formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA.

Radio stream urls often change, some stations disappear. Also, some radio stations only broadcast at certain times of the day. You can manually delete streams that are not working anymore or that don't interest you.

Radio stores the station in your iCloud account and syncs it with any other Macs that are running Radio and are logged into your same iCloud account.

It's handy if you have a Mac at work/school and a different personal Mac at home.

It should! Check your iCloud settings on your Mac (System Preferences -> iCloud) and make sure that you are logged in and the 'Documents & Data' tick box is checked.

If that's the case, restart Radio, go into its General Preferences Panel and click on the iCloud Reset button. Hopefully, everything will jump into life then and your Favourites and custom stations are synced across iCloud.

Not at the moment. We might add this in a future version. Until that time you'll have to add streams one by one or send us an email at radio@hetissimpel.nl with the stations you'd like to be added to our library.

Please email your stations in the following format:
Stream name | Stream url | Description | Country | City | Website

Not yet, you'll have to find and add streams manually.

The file containing both your streams and favourites can be found at:
~/Library/Containers/nl.hetissimpel.radio/Data/Library/Application Support/nl.hetissimpel.radio/radio.sqlite

Your recordings can be found in your User directory at:
~/Music/Radio

Also, your favourites are automatically synced to your iCloud account when you are logged in to iCloud in your OSX System Preferences.

Yes it is! The primary idea of Radio is to have as little user interface as possible. But the interface that is there, is optimized for Retina. In fact, Radio was developed using Retina Macbook Pros.

Streaming Radio For Car

I'm thinking in buying a Macbook Pro with better specifications but I need to try a little more the stream with my Air.
I play on the ipad and I pass the image to the computer using the quick time. And I capture that window with OBS. the only programs Ihave open to stream is the OBS, Chrome, Itunes and Quick time. (Cam is out of the reach for now)
My network is not the best, but when I use Youtube Gaming from my phone I can stream without problems in 480p. But in OBS I can't neither in 360p.
Do OBS have some specification to use the minimum CPU of the PC? does the stream quality to Youtube or Twitch influence that use?
Can someone please help me with a configuration or it's impossible to stream from my Macbook Air.
