All of the programs offer a graphical interface. For most of the software, we’ve written a detailed review. Let’s have a look at the programs in more detail. While recent releases have added more internet radio functionality to Tauon, there’s plenty of scope for further improvements in this area. For example, Tauon Music Box is our recommended open source music player. And the fact we’ve scored some programs (fairly) lowly isn’t indicative of their qualities as a music player. Many of the programs are not dedicated internet radio software. We must stress that the rating for each program represents our assessment of the program’s capabilities as an internet radio program. Only open source software is eligible for inclusion. Other factors that help to determine our rating include things like the program’s stability, speed, memory usage, and more. Features that are highly desirable include, but are not limited to, access to the community radio browser API or similar, recording streams, the ability to import/export a list of radio stations, good search functionality, station logos, reordering stations, as well as an attractive and easy-to-use interface. Here’s our verdict on the best GUI-based internet radio software.
