Response from developer

Thank you very much for the great feedback.

(Was)Almost perfect- Now even better!!

This software is almost perfect. It has so many great features and it feels really polished. It is only missing one thing and because of that, I still have to use two apps for my server. If the development team wants to, I am sure that they could do an excellent implementation of the internet radio feature. Right now, I have to use Amperfy for that, but that is the only thing Amperfy has on this software, which in my estimation is otherwise perfect.

UPDATE: I have been in contact with a member of the development team and they have updated the app to have radio streaming support and it is even better than expected. It is already better than Amperfy’s implementation and shelv’s was an overnight beta implementation.

Truly talented dev and very nice to interact with, you can tell they’re passionate about their work
