Carol,
It works well but not all of the buttons have labels so I am not sure what
they do.
You do have access to around 13,000 radio stations and I think you can add
more of your own, but I have not explored that as yet.
It takes minutes to instal and you can always get rid of it if you do not
like it.
David

Is anyone using this programme yet and finding it great?
