sRadio

Though probably not as popular now as they were back in the day, radio stations still make for a great way for music lovers to enjoy their favorite tunes, as curated by their station of choice.

The internet radio community is very much active these days, and there's something for everyone out there. It's markedly easier tuning into a station now than it was in the past, and dedicated software can help make that even more convenient. sRadio is a SHOUTcast client that allows one to listen to their favorite radio stations from across the world, for free, anytime, anywhere.

Accessing a radio station through your browser is perfectly viable, but a dedicated app can grant you a more streamlined experience. It becomes most evident once you start using this program for a while: the stations you frequently tune into will be displayed on your home screen interface, so that you can get right back in without a problem.

As for the available stations, there's quite the variety, which is further aided by the genre filtering function. This allows users to promptly tune into what's most suitable to them: news, music, international, talk, and other such radio genres can be freely accessed. If you're unsure about what to play, heading to the Top 500 chart might nudge you in the right direction.

Tuning into a station of your choice is as easy as clicking it, and on you go. You can record it for future use, as well as favorite it. Setting a nighttime schedule, which serves to reduce radio volume, can also be of aid to some users.

If the provided stations aren't to your liking, then perhaps the URL Stream function may be of interest to you: enter your favorite internet radio's URL via the app, and you'll be able to tune in right away.

If you find the interface getting in the way, minimizing the player to its Mini form can help. Though some controls will be limited, you'll still be able to record your favorite moments.

sRadio manages to be intuitive, functional, and modern, and it's quite easy to get into, so anyone can tune into their favorite stations without a worry.
