Readon TV Movie Radio Player Editor's Review

Readon TV Movie Radio Player is a powerful free player with a weird name, packed in a somewhat dull interface. That would be the short description of the software.

But behind the sometimes unattractive user interface lies a powerful player that covers most of the planet's TV, radio and web stations. Readon combines various playback technologies either internally or via 3rd Party plug-ins like SopCast, ShoutCast Radio, Youtube, and more.

Straight to the point, this player can be used to browse through thousands of channels, offers basic sorting support, and the ability to record most things you watch if you choose so, assuming you have a decent amount of disk space free left.

Recording offers a surprisingly large number of popular formats to save your files as, such as ASF, WMV, mp4, H264 avi, mp3 audio, etc.

Readon also features a programmable shutdown timer so you can just sleep with your favorite channel on and not have a worry in the whole world...

Pluses: Watch and listen to literally every channel on the planet. Free.

Drawbacks / flaws: Not the most visually pleasing interface. Can't customize. Some error messages popup at times, but the player doesn't crash.

In conclusion: I really recommend Readon Player to anyone who doesn't have a TV in her room and wants to watch what's on the news while playing a game or browsing the internet.
