Now you can listen to ABC Radio from your OS X Dashboard, using an updated version of Real World Technology Solutions' widget.
Real World Technology Solutions has released an updated version of its ABC Radio widget for the OS X Dashboard, which plays streaming audio from many of the ABC's radio stations.
The widget itself is small and elegant:
The widget is based on the BBC Radio widget and, like it, requires that you have the Real Player audio app installed. If you don't, it will prompt you to download it when you run the widget for the first time.
It offers streams for the most popular ABC stations in a drop-down list on the back of the widget.
If you like to switch from station to station during the day or as the mood takes, you make prefer this widget to the station specific widgets offered by Ruegen.
His site is still worth checking out though as it offers cricket-focused widgets and widgets for a number of Australian commercial radio stations.
