Installing the widget is extremely straightforward in recent versions of OS X. Mac OS X between 10.4 Tiger and 10.14 Mojave is required (Dashboard has been discontinued from 10.15 on). I will keep this page up indefinitely (although it will probably be moved to an ‘obsolete’ section) just because the source code might be interesting for anyone having to implement something similar. It still works perfectly with the live streams at the time of this writing (not so much in combination with the interactive stuff on the RP website itself). Although the RP team is friendly enough to keep that site running as long as possible, at some point in time it will be shut down. Dashboard has been removed since OS X Catalina, and this widget also relies on a part of the legacy RP website (the ‘Chumby’ playlist file). Note that version 2.2.5 will pretty likely be the last update, besides maybe some trivial changes. To show the album cover of the current song, click the right edge of the widget. Hover over a song title to see its album name and release date. Just like on the website, you can click the song titles to go to the corresponding song comments page immediately. The display is similar to what used to be shown in the top right corner of the older RP website, and the playlist is updated in real-time. This widget does not play any music, it is meant as a companion to iTunes or another playback device tuned in to RP. It shows what's currently playing on the internet radio station Radio Paradise.
