I think your question is too broad to expect a satisfying answer. I will try to help you a bit, but I can only scratch the surface here in scope of this comment:

You might want to start by copying PlayerService.kt to your project. Then have a look at PlayerFragment.kt. This class is the starting point of the user interface. It connects to the PlayerService via a MediaBrowser. The user interface controls the playback via a PlayerController.kt. Playback can be started here via play(mediaId: String) (if you maintain a list of stations) or playStreamDirectly(streamUri: String) (if you want to play back a stream url directly).

But: If I were you I would start from scratch. Most of Transistor's code is not really portable / it is tailored specifically for the app. In any case you should have a look at UAMP. Although this is not a radio app, it may be a better project to help you to kickstart your own app. Better code, more portable.

Cheers :+1:

Plain answer: No. That would be a huge undertaking. I simply do not have enough time (and expertise to be honest) to do that.

I encourage you to take a look at UAMP. This is a very well made demo app. https://github.com/android/uamp/blob/867373d9c0c189ac9e68fd967285cee70adcb106/docs/FullGuide.md

Depending on you approach UAMP may be a bit over the top. Maybe you want to start out with a Google Codelab about media streaming first. https://developer.android.com/codelabs/exoplayer-intro
