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 [b]release candidate[/b] 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:

[li]Internet Radio (new!)[/li]
[li]RDS[/li]
[li]Shortcuts[/li]

[li]Timeshift playing[/li]
[li]V4L/V4L2 radio cards (including Line-In based

[li]ALSA[/li]
[li]MP3 and Ogg/Vorbis recording[/li]
[li]LIRC[/li]
[li]Alarms and sleep countdowns[/li]
[li]Dynamic plugin library architecture[/li]

Additionally, a FAQ is available on
[url]http://kradio.sourceforge.net/faq.html[/url]
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.
[b]Therefore, your help is highly appreciated![/b]
It would be an honor to welcome you as developer,
translator, or contributor in any other sense!
Here are some ideas:

[li]translations[/li]
[li]packaging[/li]
[li]documentation[/li]
[li]GUI enhancements (e.g. SVG icons!)[/li]
[li]build system improvements[/li]
[li]testing and bug reporting[/li]
[li]new plugins[/li]
[li]sponsoring of radio cards for feature

[li]... what ever you want to contribute![/li]

Please test and give feedback about bugs but also
success!

Have fun with the new KRadio!
