Modern UI with best radio selection

This is the UI that I would have built, had I built a radio app like this. I like having a floating cover art that can be hidden if I want. And speaking of, my stations have phenomenal success at finding the correct album art. Also, I believe this is the only app for OS X that can stream SiriusXM content, which I have been hurting for ever since Rogue Amoeba had to discontinue Pulsar. KEXP streams wonderfully with great metadata and album art.

The folks complaining seem to miss the old Radium UI, which was frankly pretty ugly, if functional. This version’s UI is really, really nice. And I’m not even mentioning that it can scrobble to last.fm, has a nice EQ, lets you choose multiple audio output options at once (including Airplay devices), and lets you track and store “wish list” songs so you remember them later. This is the best audio app I’ve had the pleasure of using in OS X.

The only thing I can’t comment on is station discoverability. I already knew what I wanted to listen to, so I just went right in. The app does allow you to specify an arbitrary radio URL, but I haven’t tried that yet.
