Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Tuner.
Radiotray-NG

Radiotray-NG stays on Linux but runs from the system tray with station bookmarks and a shutdown timer, and needs a compatible desktop tray environment.
Radio Recorder
Play and record internet radio from the command line.
Radio Recorder is a cross-platform command-line tool that can record multiple stations with track metadata, but requires a Java runtime instead of a desktop interface.
Traydio

Traydio is an MIT-licensed native internet radio player for Windows, so switching means moving from Linux to a Windows desktop.
Radiola
