At this stage, AmaRadio only runs on Microsoft Windows. It will run on all versions of Windows, from Windows 2000 onwards.
We are often asked if AmaRadio will run on Mac. Unfortunately it doesn't. It could, but that would involve additional development costs from our side, and seeing that AmaRadio is a free product, it's hard to justify those costs. If you're interested in paying towards a Mac version, please let us know.
The amount of bandwidth used by AmaRadio depends on which station you are listening to, as different stations are broadcast at different bandwidth rates. Some stations effectively use a "higher quality" stream than others, resulting in a better "signal", which in turn uses more bandwidth.
Radio stations tend to stream at between 32Kbps and 64Kpbs. These stream rates equate to 12MB/hour, and 23MB/hour respectively.
