Unfortunately, you cannot edit the genres from the user interface.

One, great defining attribute of any hipster is his or her extensive taste in music.

We pride ourselves in listening to artists (the majority of which are independent) that no one else has listened to or now no longer listens to.

There will be a sound scratching at my heart or the back of my brain that I yearn to hear but I cant find it any where in my library.

Im weird like that and when that need pops up, I usually turn to the radio.

With so many stations and websites broadcasting from all over the globe, for me it stood as a fine testament of how the internet shrinks the planet and connects us all.

There are many applications and even hardware that can provide internet radio streaming.

Stefen Sarbocks Pocket Radio Player is one of those software alternatives.

What Is It and What Does It Do Main Functionality As the name would imply, Pocket Radio Player (PRP for short) is an online radio streaming application.

Tunes Radio has a wider range of radio stations.

Discussion The first thing I did after opening the application was browse through the radio stations and the various categories.

While I was looking for some Hip-Hop, I couldnt find a category marking it.

Not the most politically correct categorization but I digress.

Besides the sometimes ill fitting genre descriptions and categories, the application is pretty easy to navigate through, even for a first time user.

There is hardly any help required to use this application for its primary intended purpose and thats to stream music from online radio stations.

It uses a paging convention and design to display its different sections, as opposed to a multiple window or panel convention.

For example, when you select the help or the about page, it will switch the entire user interface to display this screen.

This list can be updated from the About screen but I find issue with where this function has been placed.

Why not place it in the options or settings screen Another function that can be performed from the About screen is station editing and adding.

This option seems like a feature for advanced users at first but when you slow down and employ a little self belief, youll be amazed at how easy it is to add your own on-line radio station.

The majority of this applications functions and controls are dead simple and intuitive.
