Just to be clear this python program is a small utility that sits in your system tray and allows you to select and listen to online radio streams, as decoded by the gstreamer librairies--the only dependency other than some python stuff, it seems. Why this is invalid because you can also listen to online radio from an HTML5 compatible browser, I am uncertain (this app is ostensibly designed to be minimal, whereas HTML5 compatible browsers generally have maximal tendencies). Of course if the application isn't working that does qualify as a major point in its disfavor. I just read that 'python-xdg' should be a hard dependency, the installation of which has fixed some folks' mortal bugs. > kind regards and have a nice day > > -- “True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country.” – Kurt Vonnegut
