For reasons completely unknown and non-obvious, version 3 replaced the menu bar app with a floating window app that can only be dismissed with a mouse click and a new set of controls missing functions such as a volume control. When you picked a station, you had a full set of standard controls to start and stop play, and a nice buffering system that allowed you to stop for a while and resume where you left off, if you wished. The list was unobtrusive and instantly dismissable with the escape key. Version 2 was wonderful: an unobtrusive menubar icon that, when clicked, brought down a helpful list of radio stations that you'd tagged as favorites, and could provide lists of its own when you search by categories. If there is such thing as a tragedy in the world of software, this is it.
