Radiotracker Platinum

Radiotracker Platinum Finds the MP3 Music You Want Most.

Radiotracker Platinum for Microsoft Windows brings you free, flat-rate MP3 music, a super-efficient Wish List function, a free, updateable music database, a built-in directory of internet radio broadcasters containing over 14,000 listings, access to 77 music genres, multiple parallel streaming from an unlimited number of internet radio stations, management of favorite and blacklisted stations, automatic cut, volume normalization and transition fading functions, an ID3 tag search agent and editor, automated album cover and lyric searching, a ring tone generator and a built-in Player that lets you listen to your favorite stations, play back music, burn CDs and synchronize music with MP3 players, Apple iPods and other mobile devices.

MP3 Search Engine with Wish List Function

Radiotracker Platinum's built-in music database provides you with listings of over 80,000 artists and their music.

Simply point, click and add your favorite artists and titles to your Wish List.

Radiotracker delivers the music you've selected in MP3 format as soon as it is played on any of over 14,000 watched internet radio stations worldwide.

It will even locate the stations that play your favorite artists most frequently to make future searches even more efficient.

And with Radiotracker's built-in Player, you can listen to internet radio stations, play back MP3 music, burn CDs and synchronize MP3 music with any MP3 player or Apple iPod complete with ID3 tags and album cover artwork!

How does Radiotracker know what music is playing where?

Each executing Radiotracker Platinum application automatically sends all other Radiotracker applications a tiny message about which music is just beginning to play and where. This makes it possible to tap into thousands of internet radio stations to find your favorite music. The world becomes smaller!

For example, a Radiotracker in Yespan might notify your Radiotracker that the Madonna hit you've been urgently seeking is beginning to play. At the same time, your Radiotracker automatically receives additional information about the other MP3s you're looking for, reduced to information about the current music track and information from the located radio broadcaster. It's totally brilliant, and it's totally legal.

Quickly Target and Download Your Favorite Music

Only Radiotracker Platinum can track thousands of internet radio stations and hunt for your desired MP3 music tracks worldwide.

Other programs are limited to simple filtering processes that ravenously devour the full bandwidth of your internet connection to cough up only an occasional result.

Radiotracker Platinum's search process instead utilizes concrete information from targeted broadcasters, resulting in minimized bandwidth usage, maximum results and optimal quality.
