Hi.

I've encountered this app before and as an ElementaryOS enthusiast I'm from time to time trying to see is it up to par with RadioTray and Gradio. Unfortunately the reason I stayed away from eRadio is still here. There is no way for me to see the song I'm listening. The volume menu does not shows it (just the radio station name as Track and "from unknown" as Artist) and also the notification does not work although eRadio app is visible in the notification settings and it's enabled to do everything. I believe that the Internet radios are great way to discover a new artists or music but without possibility to see anything about the track I'm listening this app usually gets purged from my system within minutes.

I'm running Vanilla ElementaryOS Loki Stable.

Anyhow, thank you for your time and effort.

Cheers.

Hello @WebShapedBiz and thank you for your review.

First of all the notifications are only visible while using the keyboard media keys. When eRadio is focused there is no need for them and while using Sound indicator they get in your way.

About the song information feature. I really want to add this feature for the stations that send data, I have it in my wishlist. In the next version (2.1) I have to implement Discover category as it's more important for new users to easily find stations and I hope that I will include this feature too. When i't implemented I will close this issue and you will be notified :+1:
