| 06-11-05 / 20:41 : Maradio : widget for french radios (cjed) |  To complement international iTunes's radios streams (notably the great VirginRadio UK), Maradio allows to listen to most french radios, including public radios, private radios, news radios, radios from Belgium, Canada, overseas (more than fourty for now). This Dashboard widget is a donationwhare that can be downloaded here.
It is less ressource hungry than iTunes radios (6% of CPU on a G4 1,25Ghz, compared with variable 5% to 15% use for iTunes). Broadcasting rate is note specified, but it varies continuously between 10 ko/s (80 kbits/s) and 40 kbits (320 kbits/s), due to a suspected large buffering, so it corresponds to a quite confortable rate (probably as high as 128 kbits/s), whereas with iTunes breaks can occur (depends from the moment of the day, sometimes the rate goes down to 64 kbits, from 128 kbits). | | | Comments | | Write a comment | |
