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.

May 23, 2020 SonicWeb Internet Radio Player 2.5 for Mac can be downloaded from our software library for free. Our antivirus analysis shows that this Mac download is clean. This Mac app is an intellectual property of Patrick Dehne. The application's installer is commonly called sonicweb-mac-2.0.pkg. The latest installer occupies 13.5 MB on disk. Internet Radio Broadcaster is a full featured internet radio streaming broadcast software. It can stream your PC microphone live with your songs plus optional boost and reverb.

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:

Hold the Option (Alt) key and click on the Volume icon in the menu bar, a menu will appear showing any available Airplay device. Select your Airplay device and all your sounds will play over Airplay.

The global library of streams that comes with Radio serves as a starting point when you start using the application. At the moment this is a database maintained by us. It will continually be updated, and is synced every time you (re)start Radio.

You can add your own streams to Radio, but at the moment these custom stations will not be automatically added to our global library. Send us an email at radio@hetissimpel.nl if you would like one or more stations to be added to our library for everyone to enjoy.

Our library of internet radio stations can be viewed here. The library is constantly updated. Newly added stations will automatically sync within 24 hours, or directly after a restart of Radio.

Send us an email at radio@hetissimpel.nl if you would like one or more stations to be added to our library for everyone to enjoy.

Sure, please send us an email at radio@hetissimpel.nl and we will add it to our library for everyone to enjoy.

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.

Mac Internet Settings

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.

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.

Yes you can! For all details see the Media keys & Apple script section on this website.
