“Online radio player and recorder with more than 4,000 stations”

by Elena Santos

If you're tired of always listening to the same songs in your music library, what about some live online radio stations for a change?

With Phonostar you can now tune in to more than 7,000 radio stations that stream their contents on the Internet for free. What's more, you can also use it to subscribe to your favorite podcasts. The program features a nice-easy-to-use interface, similar to any other music player, from which you can listen to your favorite online radio stations. The interface also displays an extra window where you can search for any radio station according to different parameters (language, genre, quality, etc.) though its reduced size makes search a bit uncomfortable.

But that's not all. Phonostar still keeps an ace up its sleeve with its built-in recording tool, which enables you to record your favorite songs right to your hard drive – in WAV or MP3 - with just a single mouse click.

Phonostar is a great online radio player and recorder. A bit of improvement in the way it displays search results and it'll be nearly perfect!

Notes:

If you want to record radio stations in MP3 format you'll need the LAME encoder - which has not been included with the program for licensing reasons - but you can download it right from Phonostar.
