The absolute best radio app for Linux

Shortwave comes with over 50.000 channels and you can download the stuff/songs you're hearing.
My goal is to hear every channel before I die :sweat_smile:

For those who don't want Flatpak:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/shortwave/shortwave_5.0.0-5_amd64.deb

Though it does set a hard dependency on LibAdwaita.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention, I just use the url of a radio station in my music player app (I use Exaile) which most music player apps can do, removing the necessity for another application dedicated to radio streaming.

I've enjoyed using that application in the past, but I generally don't just listen to music. If I do, I try to dedicate my time to solely listening to music, and nothing else.

But in my new place, the previous owner setup a few speakers in the garage for listening while working. I might get my machine connected into it that way and then I can pick any number of stations and try to find some new music (another thing I'm very bad at).
