Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
RadioSure allows users to tune into radio stations from around the globe and even record their favorite programs. With a simple interface and excellent performance, this was a surprising and fun download.
The program's interface is incredibly simple, though possibly overwhelming at first. All 12,000 of the radio stations are listed, with a traditional media player layout at the bottom. While we would have liked to see better ways to filter the stations, the search menu did a great job of narrowing our queries to specific programs, stations, and cities we were looking for. The program does not offer a Help file, but we found it intuitive enough that any level of user should be able to get the hang of the radio. Radio stations were categorized by style of programming, call numbers, city, and language. Once one was selected, the connection was fast and clear and there were no gaps or skips in coverage. We were very happy with the ease of searching for stations and the sound quality produced.
While the thousands of stations amazed us, we were blown away by the program's special features. Most stations provided information on the artists and songs, which was helpful. In addition, users can bookmark their favorite stations and even hit a simple record button to digitally tape their favorite stations. With an incredible selection, excellent sound quality, and impressive special features, we highly recommend users download this free program as an alternative to the radio.

"Great, and plays mp3s"
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
can auto start with computer
skinable
portable
drag/drop mp3s from your computer on it and play them!!!Cons
playlist for mp3 playback
Summary
mp3s that record with the beginnings and endings chopped off are the fault of the station broadcasting them, NOT RadioSure!
Sometimes I wish it had more details about the stations, etc., but I probably wouldn't have found as much cool stuff as I have if I could add certain search criteria.
I use this more than MediaMonkey and my library of 100k songs, I love it! -

"An excellent piece of software."
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
No lag, no adverts, this is so easy to use and a definite for any regular online radio listeners.
Cons
Very rarely are the stations interrupted to buffer, and some stations cannot be connected - but considering you have over 20,000 stations to choose from, there are plenty more to listen to!
Summary
Get it now and give it a try. It's brilliant.

"Does what I would expect, very well too."
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
Plays various formats.
Unlike undedicated media players, this one has a list of 'stations'.
You can [of course] add stations you find yourself to the list.
There's an inbuilt recording-function.
Like most media players, you can decide the output device (that means something in my case).
[The free version] (It) Is free.
It's advertised that it can cut out the ads itself [if you bought it].
The list of [known] stations is updated weekly
With the stations you add yourself, you can add several links to the same station, which is useful in cases such as if they have a link for dial-up-speeds streaming, and of course too for broadband.
And if you for some reason want to add several formats (if they 'broadcast' in AAC at one of the links, which tends to be streamed in a higher bit-rate as well)Cons
Recording an entire song [if the station has that 'ability' to 'tell' the 'tracks' apart from one-another] is impossible unless you buy the program, [though it records everything anyway, but your media player will mysteriously stop playing around the 25% (I think it was) of the track you recorded].
Of course there is some more, but I can't justify talking bad about missing features, as those exist in the 'full' program, and it's just their way of earning money... I guess.Summary
The interface is quite simple, and it's easy to add your own stations, and even if you don't know what bit-rate and what format the station that you add 'broadcast' in, then do not worry - as the program don't actually care, it will just try and stream it, and figure it out on its own - very simple.
I don't know what else to write (I am not good at writing reviews). -
"Fine radio player"
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
Huge range of stations - I use it every day to listen to Australian news and docos as well as music. All the stations saved to my favorites work well
Records well, on some stations divides tracks, downloads album art

Huge range of stations - all the ones saved to my favorites work wellCons
Needs adequate bandwidth, otherwise can fail to permanently buffer and cuts out
