Marginal to you, maybe. But there are people who are happy to
spend more on a standalone internet radio than I would pay for
a reasonably specified computer. They don't want the complication.

Yes, this is important for people who don't get as far as the one-line
description of the package (Description: online radio streaming player),
let alone the paragraph:
"Description-en: online radio streaming player
This is a simple music streaming player that lives on the system tray.
By clicking on the RadioTray icon, you'll be presented with a list of
pre-configured online radios. By selecting one of those radios, it will
start playing."

Um, you just wrote, without a hint of proscription:
"When I read first this post I was thinking there is an app for controlling
radio receiver but it turns out it is online radio - WTF! online radio is
not a radio like terrestrial broadcast. Each online radio offers nowdays a
HTML5 stream, which can be automatically played by any HTML5 compatible
browser."
