Hi Frank, I've only played with the trial version of Radium, but if you are using TrackPad Commander, you can navigate to the Radium icon in the Dock and double tap on the TrackPad to bring up the menu. You'll be in the search field, and can type in the station you want, and flick to the menu button and other controls to configure shortcuts and preferences. However, I'm used to using keyboard shortcuts, and if you don't want to use TrackPad Commander, once you launch Radium, you can just press Command+comma to bring up the preferences menu, then navigate to the "Controls" tab, and interact with the table of keyboard shortcuts, checking the boxes for any that you want to activate. Among these will be a shortcut to start/stop Radium (Command+Shift+E by default). Once this is checked, and the preferences window is closed, using this shortcut will take you to the search field in the Radium menu and allow you to start a search for a station, or else access the other parts of the menu (e.g. view the last selected station, resume playing, check it to mark as a favorite, access the menu button for other options including setting preferences, etc.) The keyboard shortcut of Command+Shift+E toggles open and closed the menu window that you would normally get by clicking the Radium icon on the status menu bar. (If you want to change this to a different keyboard shortcut, in the table on the "Controls" pane in the "Preferences" menu where you checked the box for the "Start/Stop Radium" option, use VO-Space on the column listing the keyboard shortcut, then type in a new shortcut sequence.)
As far as I know there are no Tutorials. I find it helpful to Google for a review when I want to learn about an app's features and capabilities. You can use the Mail Archive search to find and read my earlier posts, which give a bit more details on the menu layout and other preference tab options, such as subscriptions. The Mail Archive page for this list is: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/ Type your search terms like: Esther radium to bring up links to relevant posts. Since the Mail Archive supports searching by author, a better search would be to use terms like: from: Esther radium where there is a colon after "from" This will get you the link to the first post: • Re: radio app for macbook air http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg51385.html To read down the thread to my later posts, press Control+n (for "next"). To read the earlier posts in the thread, discussing Radioshift and Piano Pub, press Control+p (for "previous"). User of different browsers can substitute the appropriate access key (e.g., use "Alt" instead of "Control" for Internet Explorer.) You can read more about Mail Archive search syntax options and shortcut keys from their FAQ: http://www.mail-archive.com/faq.html HTH.
