Radio Tray webradio player for Ubuntu

Posted in "News"

Sometimes we find useful tools when we aren't really searching for them and Radio Tray is definitely one of them! It's a web radio player which uses only a small portion of your desktop since it's running in the system tray next to the clock. It ables you to switch radio stations easily and gives you a small notification when a new song comes up. Check out the screenshots. 

 

Installing it is very easy for the Ubuntu users. Just download the "Ubuntu package" from their site Radio Tray Sourceforge and click "install" when opened to install the application. After installing you can find the application in the "Applications" menu under the "Audio and video" group. 

 

When finished you will notice that a small amount of stations is grouped by genre in the application. If you want to add your stations you can do it in two ways. The first and easy way is to "right click" your mouse on the Radio Tray icon which is located in the system tray after startup, and click "configure stations". The other way is to edit the bookmarks XML file which should be located in "/home/<username>/.local/share/radiotray". You can find my bookmarks.xml below:
