There are some ways to stay tuned to your favourite radio station while you are travelling the world. If you do not decide to carry your internet radio box with you, it is possible to surf to the radio broadcaster's web site and click a link to open a flash player application, windows media player or real player. Instaed of this you can also use some software to for not carrying heavy weight and still be able to zap between channels.

There are a few software radios available. One of the preferred ones is "Screamer Radio". It is a small application (that still got some bugs) which doesn't display ads and is for free. Not all media formats are supported but the most common streams will work. The handy tool is only available for MS Windows. The provider maintains a basic list of sorted radios from all genres and all corners of the world. Still you are able to set up a favourites list independendly. The front user interface can be switched to any of a dozen languages.

A great feature is the recording option. You can encode the sound stream directly into MP3 format and record the audio to your hard disk archive or save directly to your mp3-player for later enjoyment.
