The 3 Best Desktop Radio Players For Windows, Mac & Linux
With the list of free players growing all the time (iffy companies are cropping up all over the web like raging teen acne - awful to behold and tough to stamp out) it’s time to narrow your choice down to the best available players.
I’ve listed 3 radio players for Windows, Mac and Linux.
For Linux
Rhythmbox
Originally inspired by Apple’s iTunes, Rhythmbox is based on the powerful GStreamer open source framework. Linux users will get:
1. An easy to use browser
The Rhythmbox tab list (on the far left) allows you to view your Play Queue, Library, Podcasts, Radio preferences and Last.fm streams. So, you get a lot more than radio streaming. And people whinge about the poor player options on Linux!
2. Comprehensive audio format support through GStreamer
GStreamer is a multimedia framework written in C which allows the programmer to create media-handling components like audio and video playback , recording, streaming and editing. The popular Entertainer media center for Linux (mentioned in this article) uses this technology. It’s tops.
3. Options to transfer music to and from iPod, MTP, and USB Mass Storage music players
