Highly unlikely that anyone here will be without the Web of Trust plug-in (WoT) in their browser to ensure a safe experience when visiting Internet websites.

Highly unlikely that anyone here will confuse the name of the Chinese developer of today's GOTD with the uncannily similar name of a 15-year-old acclaimed American software house called Earthsoft which specialises in environmental data management software for companies worldwide.

Highly unlikely that anyone here will even get to the developer home page link that appears in the GOTD panel above once they've seen the comments and complaints in the WoT warning intercept.

Thanks for today's offer GOTD, but definitely, no thanks.

As a matter of interest, their website was flagged up by Web Of Trust has having a bad reputation. Anyone know why?

Installed on Vista Home Premium with no problem. Took about 15 seconds to install and register.
A few minor inconveniences so far;
1) Cannot resize the window. There is not enough room in the main display window to view most of the radio titles. The station tree on the left won't fit in the menu display.

2) The HELP file barely covers how to operate the program. There is no detailed info. Very sparse and basic.

3) When adding INTERNET RADIO stations, it appears, you can only add a URL and Port number (See example in the actual program). You cannot add file names. MOST Internet radio stations I listen to, use a playlist, webpage (php), or pointer file (.PLS, .PHP, .ASX, etc...). I'm sure there are tons of programs out there without these files, but not using them really limits the amount of online stations you can record (IMHO).

Overall, the program looks and feels a little amateur as far as the GUI and functionality goes. It does work as described by the website, though. I believe this is a version or two away from being a powerful and useful audio program.

None of the four main functions (listening to audio and online radio, ripping CDs, converting audio, and recording online radio), are better than free alternatives I've seen posted here on GAOTD. Keep coming back to today's Giveaway, and I'm sure you'll see lots of free alternatives to choose from! If I don't see any posted later, I'll come back and post free alternatives.

What?! oliviab, are you customer review writer Loren Purcell, who wrote"I contacted the customer service, and they warmly helped me"?
all righty then, from the online tutorial:'When the radio is playing, click the "Record" button on the bottom and you can record the radio programmes precisely.' not preciously? So, on my old XP, I did as tutored but no sound could be heard upon playback, precious or precise. I know it must be me, but two thumbs down.

The website is NOT reputable. That's enough for me to stay away from this program, diamond-in-the-rough or not!
