Please replace radiotray with maintained alternative(s)

[Reuben Firmin]

Radiotray is dead, and takes some effort to get working on a new install (missing dependencies).
Last update: 2013 https://sourceforge.net/projects/radiotray/
A bunch of issues with recent Os versions: https://bitbucket.org/carlmig/radio-tray/issues?status=new&status=open&sort=-created_on

https://github.com/thekvs/radiotray-lite is an active fork. Please evaluate and replace.

Other alternatives:

- gradio : wide sources choice, but not a 'tray' app as it open like any app.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chronitis/misc

- radiotray-ng: 'tray' app with menu, like original radiotray; cross platform (linux, osx), deb ready to download.

https://github.com/ebruck/radiotray-ng/releases

After testing these 3 choices, i prefer radiotray-ng over the others, and propose it for landing into the multiverse archive (and drop the actual 'dead' radiotray)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

build radiotray-ng for my 20.04 development install. works as it should. had to convert my old bookmarks.xml to the new json setup.
would recommend to change to radiotray-ng, too.
