#52Works great, however the speed at which it can switch from one radio to another suggest they may be receiving all streams while playing just the selected one. That would translate in a lot more bandwidth used. If that's the case, better check your network usage if you are on mobile or on a metered plan.

#53It would be nice if the song titles history was listed so it is possible to figure out what song you just listened to. See Soma.fm for an example. Might be difficult if that info is not available digitally (though maybe you could use Shazam or something similar to identify them.)

#56Really great work! It might also be cool to have a config that allows for non-cached streams; that way it would allow for "browsing" any of the available streams, rather than limiting to 10 pre-selected ones. I found that restriction to be a bit non-intuitive.
Yep, getting a bunch of comments about the station selection UI (also I can tell from the engagement stats that not a ton of people are successfully swapping out stations). I'm gonna think about how to make this more intuitive in the coming days. Thanks for the feedback!
I wasn’t sure how to get back to the listen to this station page from the “these are the stations I want the option of listening to page”
Took me a bit to figure out clear all would remove them, tapping green meant selected, grey meant not selected, and “Reload new” was like “save new selection”
Instructions for tapping to select/unselect and “save new selection” instead of “reload new” for button label might help

#57I'm looking for the inverse. I want an AM/FM tuner that I can stream audio from. It used to be I lived in a place without enough internet connectivity for streaming. Even still, AM/FM radio broadcast still worked. *If only there was a radio tuner that I could attach to a raspberry pi, then stream the audio from it. Bonus points if it lets me record live broadcasts.
* A non-janky solution, like something actually designed for audio.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but aren't you asking for literally a radio?
If you want to record, use the 3.5mm "aux" output or RCA outputs and send the audio to a DAW in your computer. Or record to cassette tape like in the old days.
If you want a programmable radio that's otherwise attached to a computer, it seems like this is not hard to DIY with GNU Radio.

One of the nice things mit radio does is the “track blaster” sub site that lists the playlists of the various shows.

They archive shows for a week or so and provide a link to listen.
