Introducing budgie-radio-widget

1

I first mentioned this in Roadmap to Ubuntu Budgie 26.10 as a personal goal for this next release

Browse thousands of radio stations - play, pause & resume, scrobble back & forward, search and add stations to 5 preset buttons.

Good progress to-date so much so, that I’ve uploaded a development version I use on a day-to-day basis in our backports PPA for everyone using 26.04!

sudo apt install budgie-radio-widget

Once I’m content I’ll add to budgie-welcome.

Install - logout, login and use budgie-desktop-settings - raven to add this raven widget.

Enjoy!
