Macdio — Live Internet Radio

Search is back in the CarPlay tab bar. The magnifier at the right end of the bar opens the keyboard with one tap, and the last results stay under it. The tab steps aside in cars that block the keyboard while you drive. The CarPlay Home tab shows your recently played stations as artwork cards, and Favorites shows your stations the same way, with the same logos you see on the phone. The Preset View grid and the Now Playing row are gone; the player button at the right of the bar opens the player. Siri now knows your stations. Say "Hey Siri, play Radio Paradise on Macdio" and it starts, with no question asked, on the phone, with AirPods and from the voice button in the car. Siri learns your favorites and recently played stations, short names included ("BBC 1" for BBC Radio 1). The phrases, in 14 languages: • Play [station] on Macdio • Listen to [station] with Macdio • Tune to [station] on Macdio • Play my favorites on Macdio • Play my first favorite on Macdio • Play my favorite stations on Macdio • Resume Macdio, Open Macdio, Start Macdio • Stop Macdio, Pause Macdio, Stop radio on Macdio The new Siri section in Settings shows every phrase in your language, with your own first favorite as the example. On iOS 27 Siri can also find stations you never played in the directory. Auto-Play on Launch no longer starts the radio when a Bluetooth car stereo wakes the app in the background, and never over another app that is already playing. Opening Macdio yourself works as before, including from a Shortcuts automation. On iOS 27 Macdio uses the new audio session messages to notice phone calls and Siri, and to come back afterwards. Thank you, Mark, for spotting the change early. Quieter iCloud. Refreshing the station directory no longer marks every station as changed, so the app stops uploading hundreds of unchanged stations and refreshing itself for nothing after every launch. Fewer background terminations while iCloud is saving. The app now keeps running for as long as iOS actually allows instead of letting go after a fixed 28 seconds. Recordings were always the original stream, byte for byte. The quality picker in Settings suggested otherwise and is gone.
