Radio Master

Radio Master is an application that you can use to listen to radio stations from all over the world, as well as record songs.

If you're using Windows 7, then make sure to run Radio Master with administrative rights. Otherwise, it will pop up some errors which will prevent you from having a smooth music-listening experience.

The interface of Radio Master is simplistic and easy to navigate through. You can use the Radio menu to access stations according to their genre or country of origin.

As far as recording goes, you only have to press a button to initiate it, and again to stop it. It will be automatically stored in a folder whose path you can establish in the "Settings" area.

You can adjust the balance and volume, open the recording folder, view some TV channels and webcams, create and manage a favorites list, change the interface skin and enable Radio Master to stay on top of other processes.

You can schedule recordings and automatic computer shutdowns, configure proxy settings, set a file pattern for the recordings, modify audio and video parameters (e.g. codec, format), and more.

Radio Master requires a low amount of system resources, has a very good response time and manages to preserve an excellent sound quality in the recordings. Unfortunately, you cannot use a search function and the Radio menu is very cluttered and hard to navigate through. Also, Radio Master crashed once when we tried accessing a webcam. We recommend this tool with reservations.
