   Just use xmplay for radio streaming. I haven't found anything close, certainly not SR.

   The menu tweak must have gotten rid of the interface bug I was speaking of.
   Running XP, I still pointed the install to the programs folder overwriting v0.4.2 with no problems.
   Great working release....Thanks

   As being a critical I can only say : this prog totally rocks! Being freeware and so handy to use, amazing!Now also for Vista, just install it and listen to all the stations you like and how cool is it then you directly can record them in MP3(!), the icon in the tray turns then into red, very handy now and directly change the max file lenght to ZERO in Preferences
   Tip.In changing favorites you can simply your ad your own station if not present in the list in a notepad presentation simply by copy paste the allready present favorite(s) with your own url replaced, tested&works!In version 0.39 there where some problems rembering the added favorites, it seems that has been solved now with version 0.43. Low CPU usage offcourse, you do not mention that is ON except for the music offcourse!
   Are there things I miss? Yes, a 3-bands equalizer, skinsupport and going to the tray while clicking on close instead of really closing,a little annoying
   Edit : this can be changed in Preferences! Absolut 5* worth!
   Looking for freeware prog supporting Last.Fm? Try RaimaRadio Free on www.raimasoftware.com and do not constantly asking the same question : I do like to see supporting it Last.Fm...

   I find it hilarious that henrypeck tries insulting me (a common response after one gives free crap a low rating), and then claims that the version I reviewed was a "beta". In fact, 0.4.1 was not, and neither is this version. Look at the home page, it says: "Latest stable v0.4.3 | Latest beta No current beta".
   
   I'll never apologize for rating as I see fit. Grading on a curve is senseless.

   Sorry this is a piece of crap. I know Screamer has its fans. But, no offense to the developer, who I'm sure is working as hard as he can, but this program is not being patched at all quickly, and certainly later versions are not ready for prime time. These are alpha releases at best. Consider, for instance, the windows stack problems that will bring your machine to its knees if you play this thing over a couple of days. How long has this problem been reported? Also, the presets make the whole thing lose menus, and this has been happening for how many revisions. Come on. I know its freeware, but does anyone need this hassle to run a radio program? Look. Save yourself a lot of grief. Download the best little player in the world. It's called XMplay. It has an amazing radio stream feature. It works like a rock, it actually screams, and is frugal on resources. But it will also play more than radio stations. It's simply the best solution I've seen. Winamp isn't bad either. I just find all these browser features and what not distracting if I'm just trying to work with the radio streaming some instrumental. Also, Winamp is less than frugal.
