Description:
 KRadio is a comfortable  KDE4 application for
internet radio (new in beta2!) and AM/FM radio
cards supported by V4L/V4L2. It has a lot of
valuable features such as RDS decoding,
pre-recording, timeshift playback, recording (wav,
mp3, ogg), PVR support, versatile alarms, LIRC
support, and much more (see below).

Finally, the first release candidate of KRadio
4.0.0 is ready! Since the previous betas, a few
more bugs have been fixes and internet radio
support has been improved significantly.
Furthermore, the localization system is again in
place and the build systems for OpenSuSE and
Debian/sid are ready again. 

You can find detailed information in the
ChangeLog:

KRadio can be downloaded from:

KRadio4 now supports:

* KDE >= 4.2
* DBus Support (new!)
* Internet Radio (new!)
* RDS
* Shortcuts
* Pre-Recording - no worries any more about
starting recording too late
* Timeshift playing
* V4L/V4L2 radio cards (including Line-In based
cards, PCM capturing based cards and PVR cards)
* ALSA
* MP3 and Ogg/Vorbis recording
* LIRC
* Alarms and sleep countdowns
* Dynamic plugin library architecture

Additionally, a FAQ is available on
http://kradio.sourceforge.net/faq.html which
hopefully already answers many questions. If you
have new ones, please let me know.

Anyway, there is still a lot work to do on KRadio.
Therefore, your help is highly appreciated! It
would be an honor to welcome you as developer,
translator, or contributor in any other sense!
Here are some ideas:

* translations
* packaging
* documentation
* GUI enhancements (e.g. SVG icons!)
* build system improvements
* testing and bug reporting
* new plugins
* sponsoring of radio cards for feature testing
* ... what ever you want to contribute!

Please test and give feedback about bugs but also
success!

Have fun with the new KRadio!
