TuneIn Radio for Windows 8 is a direct link to radio stations all over the United States. This program allows you to expand your listening without downloading several players from several websites.

#1: The Pros

  • TuneIn allows you to search for radio stations all over the country. The radio station you prefer to listen to in a particular city is just a few strokes of the keyboard away.
  • The program allows you to start and stop the radio that you are listening to. It is much more functional than the radio in your car, and you get to control the volume on your computer or in the program.
  • The program tells you what is playing on the station when you tune in. You get to see the title of a show if you are listening to talk radio, and you get to see the name of a song if you are listening to a music station.
  • You can search for stations based on their content, call letters or frequency.

#2: The Cons

  • This program is subject to the connection speeds on your computer. Radios may produce static if they cannot pick up the signal from the station. However, you will not be able to hear the radio if you do not have a strong signal. Also, you need to remember that the programming could begin buffering at any time during a song or show.
  • This program cannot run in your vehicle if you do not have a consistent Internet connection.
  • You may have a hard time accessing certain stations if their programming is not available to the service itself.

Listening to the radio on your computer is a nice way to entertain yourself, but you must remember that the TuneIn program only works with a solid Internet connection.
