never short of options to enjoy the music. In-fact I have a huge
collection of songs in my laptop and MP3 player but at times I feel the
need of regular updates and news for which radio is the best choice.

A few days back we came up with Adobe Air application-Antenna that
allows you to enjoy thousands of radio stations online in windows. This
time I planned to come up with five best free online radio apps for
Linux users.
1. Radio Tray :
Radio Tray is a minimal radio player available for the Linux users.
It’s an online radio streaming player application with minimal interface
that runs on Linux system tray. Radio Tray is Free Software licensed
under the GPL. I must say it’s the best app that lets you enjoy radio
that keeps playing in the background without hampering your work. Radio
Tray supports media formats like PLS, M3U, ASX, WAX and WVX. When the
‘Configure radios’ window pops up, you need to select ‘Add’ to add the
radio stations name and the URL of the stream. Select OK and your enjoy.
The app is totally free.
2. Streamtuner
Streamtuner is an app that allows the linux users to connect and
enjoy a number of ‘internet radio’ shows. Offering an intuitive GTK+ 2.0
interface to internet radio directories like SHOUTcast and Live365, the
streamtuner app lets you enjoy large number of music resources in a
fast and clean interface.
3. Rhythmbox :
Rhythmbox is an integrated music management application that was
originally inspired by iTunes. Supporting number of audio formats, it
works well under the GNOME desktop and is based on the powerful
GStreamer media framework.
4. TunaPie
TunaPie is an app that’s compatible with the Icecast directory and
the Shoutcast stream directory service. The app can play TV streams and
allows you to record both audio and video streams using streamripper.
Besides this, you can use it with your favorite audio/video player too.
5. Pithos Is Pandora
One of the best Internet radio app Pandora that can be accessed
without a browser and flash. The app can be used if you are based in US
because the service doesn’t work anywhere else in the world. The app
works really well and lets you enjoy the online radio while you do your
work.
To conclude, the apps listed above are simply cool and the best part
is that each of these come totally free. Linux users, what are you
waiting for? Go ahead and download the apps and enjoy the radio online!
