App for Local radio stations

[raringsunny]

Hi,

I am a new user of MacBook pro. Recently purchase and still in the process of learning its features and some of the basic stuff.

My question is regarding radio apps. I use Tune-in pro app on iOS devices such as my iPhone and iPad. However, after searching in the app store on Mac, I haven't seen any such app.

Could anyone suggest any radio app that plays live radio stations?

Thanks in advance.

Sunny

Radium is a nice app that can be controlled via Menubar.
It is not free though.I think it costs $9.99.

Would love to have a free app instead. But thanks for your suggestion.

better off using TuneIn's website. Will have your favorites already organized.

Why not just use a browser if you want free?

I use Radium too.

But figure out the stream URL and you can play most stations within iTunes.

Another vote for Radium. I also use it for my SiriusXM subscription. It does crash sometimes, but it's been getting better each update.

That would be the last resort in case I don't find anything else. I was just looking for an app as that gives a better experience.

Do they have a trial version?

I will try the browser. Thanks for your response.

Didn't iTunes at one point or it still does, have a radio station feature in it? And I am not talking about iTunes Radio, but I could of sworn there was a tab that had internet radio stations listed.

iTunes still does but I don't think there is any feature to play local radio stations.

Gotcha... Haven't used it in a very long time.

If you have an iPhone there is an App I use call HiDef Radio -Free news & Music Stations and they do have local stations.

If you have the url for the stream you can also use VLC to play it easily.

Would appreciate if you leave your comments on that as that way other people can get benefitted by referencing it while reading the post. They may not have to spend the time as I spent looking for information.

I am using MyTuner Radio and I am very happy with it. It's like Radium, but it offers more radio stations. I just discovered SonicWeb and it looks awesome, but I just bought MyTuner so I will hold of on the SonicWeb purchase.
