Description:
TuneFinder enables users to search and play online radio stations with
various filter options, including country, codec, tags stream filters. Results
are displayed in a list with detailed station information, and the app
includes options to save selections as either a complete playlist or
individual station files.

next page of results
- HTTPS filter: all stations, HTTPS only, or no HTTPS (for systems
without AmiSSL)
- Playback starts in the background; the status line shows Connecting
and then Playing, and the current track is shown while playing
- HLS streams (not playable by AmigaAMP) and stations that failed their
last check are marked
- ARexx port for scripting

ADDING NEW COUNTRIES
-------------------
To add new countries to TuneFinder:
1. Navigate to "ENVARC:TuneFinder/countries.cfg"
2. Edit the file with any text editor
3. Add each country on a new line using format: CODE:Name
For example:
PL:Poland
US:United States
GB:United Kingdom
SE:Sweden
NO:Norway
DK:Denmark
The code must be a 2-letter country code according to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard.
Changes will take effect after restarting TuneFinder.
Default entries will be created automatically if the file doesn't exist.
