In the current times we have several applications and online platforms that allow us to access radio stations around the world . Thus, from our team we can listen to music in real time from any station of the globe, also for free.
This is precisely the case at hand right now with Tray Radio . Specifically, we refer to an Internet radio player that also allows us to record the transmissions we listen to. Thus, we find a free application that we can use to listen to Internet radio stations from multiple countries.
Features and operation of Tray Radio
Once we have downloaded the application as such, we can install additional station packages, only those that we mark ourselves. This is then placed in the system tray when we execute it.
Thus, when you click with the left mouse button, an equalizer and the program’s playback controls appear, as well as to record what we hear. In this way and quickly and easily we can stop the transmission of music at any time. In the same way and from the same icon, with the right mouse button we access its configuration options. From here we will also have the possibility to install new station packages.
We right-click on the tray icon and we will see that the radio stations we have added are available. Similarly, the program allows us to manually add radio station packages, as long as they are in ZIP or TRSP format . Input Tray Radio contains several stations in several languages ready to be installed, both music and information.
On the other hand, we also recommend you right click on the icon and select Shoutcast. From this window we can search even more radio stations by keywords and genres. Then we will only have to select one of them to reproduce it. It is worth mentioning that if we like it, to save it we have to click on the add to favorites button .
Define your own keyboard shortcuts to control the music
At the same time and to be able to customize the radio broadcast program, we can configure some parameters of the program itself from the Configuration section. But something that we recommend and that is very useful, is to be able to define your own keyboard shortcuts to be able to control the program in the best way. To do this, we right-click on the icon again, and go to Configuration / Hotkeys.
Then a new window will appear on the screen from which we can customize the shortcuts for the most common functions of the application as such. Among these we find controls for the volume of the reproduction, the stop, or the change of station. At the same time we find shortcuts that we can define to select songs randomly, radio stations, etc.
This, as you can imagine, will allow us to control the program in a more direct and personalized way. Of course, we must bear in mind that one of the defects that we have found in Tray Radio, is that it is a bit slow in the response when making use of it.
How to download the program for free
As we mentioned earlier, this is a program that allows us to listen to a good number of radio stations in many countries. Of course, not all of them are available at the outset, so we have to download them from the application interface , later.
But to be able to do with the program as such to install it on your computer, this is something that you get from the website of its developer , specifically from this link .
