Screamer!

October 4th, 2006

What?

Screamer is a free application which allows you to tune to free online FM radio stations, and, best of all, it can automatically record songs (with title and track name) as Mp3. (But shh, don’t tell the RIAA).

Why?

Because local radio sux ( Idiot DJ’s / boring commercials).

Many of the channels on Screamer are commercial/DJ free. Like.. wow, at last I can listen to, um, music.

How?

1. Download Screamer from softpedia.
2. Extract it to a folder on your hard disk.
3. Run screamer.
4. Select a radio station (try pop music channels which have the latest hits)

On those free MP3s..

I wonder what would happen if someone accidentally tuned to a channel like… say… Sky FM’s top music, and clicked RECORD, and forgot all about it for a day or two.. why.. their hard disk would fill up with 100’s of the latest MP3’s, neatly named and categorized.

Now that is a scary thought! If ever this happens to you, make sure you delete all the files - whatever you do, don’t burn them on a CD and toss it in your car’s MP3 player, that would be wrong!

Tip: try Sky FM’s Top Hits Music channel for all the latest hit’s in MP3 format.. also, browse thru the list of regional channels, for a great selection of foreign content..
