Shortwave is a free and open-source application for listening to Internet radio. It is named after shortwave signals which, ironically, have long-range and reflection properties that enable them to be received anywhere in the world. It features a modern user interface built using the libhandy library and a community database, radio-browser.info which is open to everybody to modify.
