Summary
Radiotray-NG is a very simple but useful application for anyone who likes to listen to internet radio streams. It’s very thrifty with its memory footprint. If only more graphical software followed suit.
My biggest bugbear with Radiotray-NG is that it’s a bit cumbersome to add new stations. Both odio and Shortwave make it effortless to build your music library. While Radiotray-NG’s bookmark editor is useful, the software is crying out for integration of an external internet radio directory. This would let you search for stations from a search field, rather than having to find out each stream’s URL. The developer seems interested in adding this functionality.

Why do you build RadioTray NG and won’t let is use the bookmarks list from RadioTray? Now it’s useless
Erwin, I suggest you provide your feedback to the developer of the project. This article is a review of RadioTray-NG. Luke certainly doesn’t consider the software to be useless, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Good luck with finding software that meets your specific requirements.
