Digitally Imported – Windows Radio Player

Music broadcast has come a long way from age old radio stations to digitally downloadable to online streamed contents. Online radio stations have survived for almost a decade and with decreasing internet tariffs they are fast becoming popular.

Couple of my favourite online radio station are di.fm and sky.fm which have some awesome channels. These stations stream content in various formats such as MP3, AAC etc. The only problem with them is, you have to rely on their website to change the channels if used from desktop based systems.

Coming back to the problem of relying on website to change channels, I was planning to develop my own Windows desktop based client. While doing research related to this came across a project at DI’s forums called as “DI Radio Player”

It has some good features and few of my favourites are listed below.

  • Listing of current track
  • Choose radio stations
  • Choose channels
  • Auto Update
  • Visualization options

This radio player is based on .NET 2.0.

You can follow the following link to discuss and download the player.

Both these Digital Imported & Sky FM channels have awesome mobile clients (DI, Sky) in almost all mobile OS categories + For the upcoming Window 8 Pro OS based tablets, this app will be a good option. Especially with Intel Clover Trail
