Hi Erik, I can answer your last two questions. I Personally use the Radio Recorder app, as it can both listen to, and record directly from, internet radio stations. The interface leaves quite a lot to be desired, but if you add your most frequently listened to stations to a playlist (I’ve named mine “favghrites”) you should be good to go and become very efficient with the app. You should be able to figure out the interface with some trial and error, but I’m happy to offer some tips if needed as I know it’s not the most user friendly. Here’s the link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12 <https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12>
If you just want to listen to internet streams, but not record them, then the Radium app is often recommended here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radium-perfect-internet-radio/id597611879?mt=12 As for Adobe Flash Player, I wouldn’t install it until you need to. YouTube, SoundCloud, Netflix, and many other popular sites can play their content without flash, right out of the box.

So far, I love it, and the learning curve is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which probably aren't too difficult. So, here goes. 1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is being displayed in the channel. For channels which are not high-traffic, this isn't a problem. However, if you have a channel which has a lot of users sending messages, this simply does not work. I would use console applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications. Cursor tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues. 2. What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a client that supports MCP, sounds, etc? 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary document in return for your time spent researching and answering my questions.
