We don't explain how to listen to music from the PC, just put a CD in the player or download mp3 from the internet and listen to the songs with an audio player for music or even using Windows Media Player. Much more interesting is instead to discover those sites that allow you to listen to streaming music among which there are those to listen to the radio using the PC as if it were a stereo with FM receiver of local and national stations .
The advantages of using the internet to listen to the radio are at least three: better audio quality without interference, possibility to hear all local radios also from other cities or even from other countries and, third advantage, ability to choose the radio to listen to according to tastes by browsing the various stations by genre or type of music.
Personally, I always find online radios the best source for listening to music passively, without having to tire in the choice of songs and also to stay updated on what is happening in the world or to listen to sports or political broadcasts.
The best web application to listen to radio streaming on your computer (and also from your mobile phone) is Tunein, site in Italian, capable of tuning in to over 50, 000 stations worldwide.
Generally the online radio programs make only American stations or foreign web-radios heard. Instead Tunein contains direct links to listen to Italian radio stations, free and without registration.
Tunein has a very simple and clear web interface, where you can first choose the type of radio to hear by browsing the categories.
In particular there are 4 main categories: Music, local radio, Talk radio and Sports .
If you want to listen to music, you can also choose the music genre by looking for the right station.
the site detects the origin of the internet connection so the local radios will only be listened to in the Rome, Milan, Naples or other cities area.
For each radio chosen, before starting to listen, you can read a description, watch the title of the currently broadcast program and scroll through the entire schedule of the day with all the times of the various programs.
The FM and AM stations are all there therefore, if you are fond of a particular program or a DJ or a conductor or a particular station, just write on the search engine above.
For some radios such as RTL 102.5, when listening to a song the title and artist are indicated and you can press the " Add " button to save that song as a favorite.
If you like the site, registration (from the link at the top right) is useful for saving your favorite radio stations and listening to them quickly when you want.
If you want an international radio, you can press the Browse button at the top and search for American, Asian or any country in the world.
Tunein is certainly the best site to listen to streaming radio from your pc
TuneIn is also one of the best applications for hearing radio from iPhone / iPad and Android .
Tunein can be downloaded as an app for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 from the Microsoft website
