"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

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
Good, simple interface

Needs adequate bandwidth, otherwise can fail to permanently buffer and cuts out

Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
Doesn't appear glitchy at all. Doesn't use up a lot of memory. Smooth and easy to use.

Excellent player. Delete all of your other radio applications and stick with RadioSure. You won't be disappointed.

"Wonderful software."
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
quality sound, easy and intuitive to use.

Needs some more possibilities for managing favorites.

"Fabulous number of stations"
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
Stations to match all tastes

Could use some color in the format

Impressive number of stations to match all tastes and has a search engine to help find specific stations or artists

"Still some bugs."
Version: RadioSure 2.2.1036
Pros
Saving cover art.
Songs history.Cons
It crashes every so often for no reason, The recording is not very precise at all.
Limited in the options even in the pro version.
The list view is too small even with some nice big skins applied.
Favorites saving is horrible becasue its in a context menu, you have to play a favorite in order to remove it, it takes to long to connect to a station, it doesnt record to other file extension type.Summary
After many releases, it still have bugs and much fixes to do.
