After listening to music for ten hours a day, you end up knowing your whole MP3 collection by heart, no matter how many of them you've got. So maybe it would be a good idea if you listened to the radio instead, and one good application to start with is Nexus Radio.

This tool grants you access to literally hundreds of online radio stations from all over the world. They're organized by categories, according to the music's style. Simply click on any of them and the program will list all the available radio stations.

Besides listening to music, Nexus Radio also allows you to record the streaming music right to your PC in MP3 format, either manually or via scheduled recordings. Click on the appropriate button and the program will start recording immediately. Nexus includes some basic sound effects, a 10-band equalizer and even an ID3 tag editor. On the downside, we didn't like being redirected to the browser to obtain more information about the station or perform a search.
