RadioBrowser Player

A lightweight, cross-platform desktop radio player built with F# and .NET 10.0. Discover and listen to thousands of internet radio stations, manage your favorites, and never lose track of what you're listening to.

✨ Features

• Global Radio Discovery: Search for radio stations by name, country, or tag using the integrated RadioBrowser API.
• Smart Favorites: Add stations to your personal favorites list for instant access.
• Now Playing: See the current track title (via Icecast metadata) for supported stations.
• Listening History: Automatically keeps a log of all stations you've played.
• Modern, Native UI: A clean and responsive user interface built with Blazor and Fluent UI, running in a lightweight native window via Photino.
• Lightweight & Fast: No heavy Electron shell. The app is a small, fast .NET executable.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on Windows and Linux (maybe on macOS too, but I haven't had a chance to test it).
