RadioAunty is a Cocoa app that runs on your Apple Mac and allows you to listen to BBC National Radio live and onDemand outside your web browser. It was written to aid my learning Cocoa and also to serve my own personal needs for an application of this type.

RadioAunty

Features include:

  • Simple interface
  • Minimize the player like you can in iTunes
  • Send you listening habits to twitter
  • Normal RealPlayer or high quality ACC streams
  • Recieve updates automatically
  • Easily view and be kept up-to-date with the current schedule for the day
  • Listen to programmes you missed earlier in the day

Download the latest release:

You can download this project in either zip or tar formats. View or fork the source via GitHub: http://github.com/whomwah/radioaunty/tree/master. The Public Clone URL is:

git clone git://github.com/whomwah/radioaunty.git

RadioAunty uses these wonderful 3 party libs. A big thankyou to their authors:

  • The wonderful Sparkle. Sparkle is an easy-to-use software update framework for Cocoa developers.

  • The wonderful MGTwitterEngine. MGTwitterEngine is an Objective-C class which lets you integrate Twitter support into your Cocoa application written by Matt Gemmell

Requirements: This app uses the exact same technology as the web based BBC iplayer, so if it works on the web, then it will will work for this app.

Launched: Saturday, January 9th, 2009
