Radium on the Mac

It has been a long time since I used radium on the Mac. I use it on my phone and my iPad quite a bit. I just went to the Mac app, which is up-to-date. I am not seeing any of the stations which I had previously saved. All I get is a scroll area that has a bunch of categories presumably for me to

Hi everyone, since migrating from a Macbook Air to a retina Macbook Pro, battery life when using Fusion has been very disappointing. Obviously I'd expect to take a bit of a hit, since I'm running two operating systems at once, but in some cases I am only getting about three hours. It was far
