Listen to thousands of free Internet radio stations online using TUN3R

Posted on August 9, 2007 at 8:44 pm

TUN3R is an Internet radio portal that searches, displays and allows you to listen to thousands of streaming radio stations online. Once TUN3R finds a stream online, it picks up a short sample of their music and uses their homepage to generate a tiny free ad that is put on to a “dial” which can then be instantly played by moving the dial with your mouse.

Once you drag over a radio channel, a playlist of samples songs for that day are displayed, along with the type of music (English, German, French, etc) and a TUN3 IN button that loads the current stream into Windows Media Player. The current stream will be different since the music being played on TUN3R is a sample that they collect daily.

However, this would become quite boring very quickly if you could not search for the type of music you like, so thankfully that exists and works quite well! You can search by artist, genre, or by language! When you perform a search, the radio stations that match your search appear in red in the gaint dial interface.

That definitely made it a lot easier for me to search for some of my favorite music, like rock and alternative. Very cool site and great if you love to listen to the radio in your car, now you can do so at home or on the office!

And speaking of office, you can tell someone made this site who had to hide it from his/her boss because there is a cool shortcut that makes the entire web page disappear! While on the main page, press ”B” on your keyboard and viola, screen is white! That’s great! Press “R” for a random station and “N” for the next station. You can also use the up/down/right/left arrows keys to move around.

Check it out!
