CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on November 17, 2008
You won't find absolute perfection in this free desktop app for streaming Internet Radio, but you will find a mess of language options, preset stations, and a few extra functions stuffed into a very light, fast app. For casual listeners, the combination will be just right. Not every preset station will be a success--we found that many URLs lead to a Web site, not to a stream. If that's the case, you can follow the link from Screamer Radio, do a little searching around the site, and manually enter the URL. Unfortunately, there's no way to edit the global library for everyone's benefit.
As for the perks, you're looking at two sound effects, saving favorite stations (but not songs,) and audio recording--you'll be able to easily open the Recordings folder from the app interface. With Screamer Radio, you'll also be able to mute audio and do some manual configuring. It's a great deal for those looking for ease of use and an easy way to experiment with new stations and sounds in a set-it-and-forget-it format. If you're looking for more advanced features like visualizers, saving individual songs, and socializing, however, this isn't the radio app for you.

Version: Screamer Radio 0.4.3
"Not really suited for recording free music"
Pros: Free of charge
Cons: Not suitable to get accurately cut free music
Summary: While Screamer Radio 0.4.3 does offer a convenient way to stream and organize online radio stations, it does fail horribly when confronted with the task of recording and storing cleanly cut songs. The culprit really is the way that online radio is b... read more >>

Version: Screamer Radio 0.4.3
Pros: The best program with a large list of all kinds of radio stations and the record possibility makes it even better. Awsome software which I use every time I am next to my computer.

Version: Screamer Radio 0.4.3
Pros: - plays all radiostations
- all genres are all there
- won't eat cpu
- goes to tray so it's not in a way
- records tooCons: may stop playing after 100-200 minutes if listening the same station (keeps never ending buffering). That would be a problem if you like to record hundreds of minutes.
Summary: For me it's the best way to listen radio.
