Ever feel like tearing your hair out -- you know there's a TON of music
and video on the web, but it's scattered so far and wide, it takes you forever to find
what you want. Well, put away the Rogaine and get yourself Earth Tuner. Here's is a truly
unique app that hunts down and organizes multimedia content on the Internet -- by format
or by any worldwide location you want. It's outstanding!
EarthTuner uses the RealPlayer 5.0 ActiveX control and teams up with your browser, to
bring you Internet-based radio, TV, and multimedia programming. Its beautiful interface
includes a colorful animated globe, allowing you to choose worldwide content from selected
stations geographically; browse through regional directories with its Explorer-style
window; or use its integrated search engine to find stations (and their websites), based
on your search criteria.
EarthTuner has over 1,000 links to RealAudio and RealVideo content, with stations well
organized by format -- over 20 music/media formats are listed, such as news, jazz, techno,
rock, and so forth. Save your favorite sites for quick access via the 12 preset buttons.
And as with your web browser, you can bookmark dozens of your favorite sites, and replay
them with a menu click. It's also a one-click operation to check for updated content and
for product updates from the Earth Tuner web site.
With Earth Tuner, it's unbelievably easy to ferret out exactly what you're looking for,
which eliminates the hit-and-miss frustration of searching the Web unaided. This app is
completely intuitive, with its numerous control buttons being self-explanatory while
providing powerful, useful options. Yet, it comes with simple instructions and plenty of
links to online help. It's free to try for 15 days, and registration costs $29.95. Support
is provided to registered users.
