Online Radio Tuner is a Windows application for listening to and recording internet radio. It suits listeners who want to browse a large selection of stations, keep a personal collection of favorites and save broadcasts as audio files. The program can play stations from playlists as well as from its built-in presets, so it can be used with both familiar streams and stations found elsewhere online.
The tuner includes more than 1,000 station presets, which can be updated from a central server. Users can save as many favorites as needed and organize them for quick access; five quick-favorite buttons provide shortcuts to frequently played stations. Playlist support covers PLS, M3U, ASX, WPL, WAX and WMX files. Playback supports MP3, WMA, OGG and AAC audio, including AAC+ streams, allowing the application to handle a range of common internet-radio formats.
Recording is available while a station is playing, with recordings saved as MP3 files. Free add-ons enable recording in AAC and OGG formats. Scheduled recording can capture a program at a chosen time, and startup parameters can launch a recording of a specified station, supporting automated recording workflows. The program can also write ID3 version 1 or version 2 tags to recordings. Users can minimize it to the system tray, use global hotkeys and select among color schemes, including Office 2007-inspired colors.
When a broadcaster supplies track information, Online Radio Tuner can display the current song's album art and announce track changes through a balloon tip or a separate notifier. It can also share the currently playing track with MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger. These display and notification features depend on the station transmitting song details; they may not work with streams that provide no track metadata. Individual Windows user accounts have separate favorites and settings, and the interface supports English and Swedish.
Online Radio Tuner is trialware and includes email support during the trial period. It is intended for Windows, with support listed through Windows 10; Windows 11 compatibility is not established here. The application is useful for everyday station listening, managing collections of web-radio links and making personal recordings, including scheduled captures. Recording or saving a stream should be done in accordance with the broadcaster's terms and applicable law.
