About Screamer Radio
There is little reason to listen to commercial FM radio anymore, it is an
old medium that provides little choice of music and is saturated with ads.
For the last couple of years there has been an alternative, streaming
internet radio. An alternative that has been somewhat complicated to use.

Screamer Radio attempts to remedy this problem by bringing most of the
required steps into a single, easy to use, freeware program.

just a follow-up...

i still think this is a great offering, but i wish it supported
aacPlus streams such as the one for "the current".

"the current" aacPlus stream:

"the current" web site:
http://minnesota.publicradio.org/ra...ces/thecurrent/

ah well... maybe a feature request to the publisher is in order? ;-)
