The structure of the original radio does not fit very well with the idea of navigating through the “directories” of mpd. A further incompatibility between the old code and the new code is that the old radio class has been designed to be a container for structural programming while the new LCD code is more object oriented. This made the program inconsistent and unstable.
The radio is basically usable, now. The development will slow down in the next months if no other people take the challenge.

This will hopefully prevent the remote control thread from dying if the connection to MPD does not work properly.
The piface libraries are sometimes hard to debug and have some issues with dying threads that cannot be restarted. In order to fix these issues they are copied inside the source tree. They have been renamed to avoid clashes with the original libraries.
This temporary enables killing the radio application from init.

The current branch is the result of my attempts to make the radio usable with my Piface Control & Display extension board.
Some limitations of the original piradio annoyed me:
• It doesn't allow autmatic configuration of the radio stations
• It does not support IR remote controls
• It deos not support to browse the directory structure of the music.
• It uses a strange design for the debian project.
Trying to solve these problems, I ended up with something that's more or less a rewrite, but supports additional features as an object oriented menu system.
At least I wanted to inform you about the project. I think some technical details could be interesting to you, too. Feel free to comment, please.
BTW. My distri is based on the MusicBox project (http://pimusicbox.com/) and uses the mopidy repositories.
Warning
As the design changed so much during the development nearly everything I don't use is probably broken.
