Is it possible to disable radio button on top right corner?
I have many mods that use valuable space and the radio button is totally useless to me I'd like to get rid of.
Totally agree this would be a nice feature, plus even when muted it's wasting some cycles in the background, assuming it loads correctly too (had a couple cases were only one station was available - others wouldn't even show, after the 1.6.2 patch).
The radio station is pretty lame- another unnecessary distraction that leads down a rabbit hole. With access to- i-tunes, spotify etc who needs a dozen naff rerecorded golden oldies?
To disable the radio just select the no stations icon.
Even with the radio enabled, most mods that use an icon in the same location allow those icons to be draggable and so there is no reason for any conflict.
As for the Radio itself , I love it!
Especially when using this mod to allow me to play my own tracks in addition to what CO has provided - I far prefer my own configurable playlist in game to having to use a 3rd party app to play music to override the game sounds.

do not agree with running itunes in the background. having my entire music-library loaded in the background is quite the waste of memory, especially if you keep in mind that c:s is memory hungry itself. an ingame-solution like radio is more memory-friendly.
would not work, i guess. why? for all the different file formats (mp3, m4a, ..) you'll need a codec. implementing one in a commerical product would mean licensing fees, and i'm not even counting in the drm-protection of several online-stores. this is probably the reason, why the official radio-files in the cs-folder are in the .ogg-format and mods such as csl-music won't support any format beyond this one: "CSL Music Mod only supports *.ogg files, which means you cannot use *.mp3, *.m4a, *.aac and other music formats."

It's not hard to find an audio editor to convert music files to .ogg format. You can even do it online. I created a whole xmas playlist and now have up to 200 tracks to jingle away to.

I have a couple of 2 TB Hard drives plus the SSD's and a variety of external storage space options, as well as the option to just store it on a 50GB Blue Ray disk.
Just 800MB reserved for 200 .ogg music files really isn't something I'm fussy about lol. The Xmas playlist has now been deleted and I'll replace them with contemporary tunes for the rest of the year.

"On April 23, 2017, Technicolor's mp3 licensing program for certain mp3 related patents and software of Technicolor and Fraunhofer IIS has been terminated."
I'm not sure what they mean exactly by "certain", but I think the patents actually expired last November.
