Hi folks I was listening to a radio show that some friends of mine were doing earlier on, and one of them recommended this cool little program called Screamer-radio. It's a very simple program that allows you to listen to, and save streams as mp3 files. It has a whole bunch of preset stations, and with a click of a button, you can record it and save it as an mp3 file at the bitrate you choose. It also plays mp3, WMA and Ogg Vorbis files on your hard drive, so it's good for playing those if you like, but it's strengths lie in the streaming area of things. i had this program downloaded and, installed and working within 5 minutes. This program could not be simpler to use. The buttons are all very nicely labeled and it's very easy to set it up to your specifications. The only things that don't read correctly are the slider bar that controls the volume control, and you do have to read your title bar to get streaming information like artist and titles of streams, if available. Sometimes you have to use your screenreader's review cursor to get this info. It seems to be different forsome streams so I'm not sure about that part of it. This program is freeware, but they ask for a donation if you like the product. I think I'll definitely be throwing something their way. The only thing missing in this that would make it complete for me is to have some kind of timer function so i could have it launch at a particular time, and start recording. I know other programs can do that and you could set up a program like Macro Scheduler to do that, but it'd be nice to have that all in one program. They do have forums for the product, so they do have people making suggestions. You can get it and find out more about it at http://www.screamer-radio.com I haven't figured out why they actually call it screamer, rather than streamer, but that's what it is! Like I said, this program is completely accessible, no scripts or set files needed to work this. Hope this may be of some use to you guys.
