Listen CRO

Listen CRO is a very basic yet effective piece of software that was developed to provide Croatian expats with the ability to listen to various radio stations from your country, whenever you get homesick.

The application offers a very simple and user-friendly appearance, in the shape of a small, non-resizable window with very few mentionable features about it.

In the left-side panel, you can browse through the available radio stations, while on the left, you can play, pause or adjust the audio volume. When minimized, it only retreats to the task bar, as it is not able to run in the system tray.

Listen CRO features a fairly extensive list of Croatian stations under the ‘Choose The Radio’ section, organizing them alphabetically and allowing you to scroll down to browse through them.

To render any station that you like, you just need to click on it and it will begin emitting in a built-in audio player. The available functions let you pause or stop the radio, as well as adjust the volume.

While its simplicity may appeal to many, Listen CRO offers very little room for customization, since you do not have the possibility of adding new stations or removing any of the existing ones, nor can you group them according to their type (news, music, sports, etc). Similarly, you cannot create your own list of stations.

To sum it up, Listen CRO is a handy albeit fairly limited tool for playing Croatian radios, which can prove appealing not only to migrants who wish to get a taste of home, but also people who want access to numerous radio stations on their computer.
