Light Radio

Light Radio is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you listen to various online radio stations and record the audio streams.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to access online radio stations on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

It sports a clean and simplistic layout pointing out to the fact that the accent doesn’t fall upon the looks of the program but rather on its functionality.

The tool gives you the possibility to choose between different online radio channels, which are grouped by genre, namely Blues, Country, Electronic, Jazz, Metal, Pop, Rock, Indian, and others.

What’s more, you can play or pause the current selection, and adjust the volume pretty easily, thanks to its built-in slider.

One of the best features included in this utility enables you to record the audio streams from the selected radio station. This way, you can record your favorite song and save it on the computer for listening to it in your media player.

By default, the recorded items are exported to MP3 file format and saved to the same location where the program is stored. You are not allowed to specify the filename and target location.

During our testing we have noticed that Light Radio carries out a task quickly and provides very good audio quality. As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on system resources, so it doesn’t hamper computer performance, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

All things considered, Light Radio offers a simple yet efficient software solution when it comes to helping you listen to a wide range of preset radio stations and perform recording operations. It can be easily configured and installed by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
