Field notes
The station directory is organized around genres and countries, with the listener’s country placed first; the page names examples from public broadcasters and commercial stations across its listed coverage. Its CarPlay description includes automatic playback of the last station unless paused, while the Mac version is described as a menu bar app with a sleep timer and AirPlay. The homepage gives two different totals for the station catalog: 4,000 and 4,200.
