The program itself is an Internet Radio player that is easy to use and ships with a truckload of stations that you can tune in right away, and support for custom radio stations on top of that. Users can still download the portable version to use it without any form of installation. The new installer is called Squirrel and is simpler and better according to the author. The program used Microsoft's ClickOnce solution, but it was complicated and caused all kinds of issues. Screamer Radio 1.0 ships with a new installer. This can be useful for backup purposes, or for importing those stations on another system. The only other changes are options to export favorite radio stations. Another reason given was that Microsoft dropped support for XP two years ago, and that users should not really be using the operating system anymore. For one, XP was holding back development because some components would not work at all, or not without fixing issues. The author revealed several reasons for dropping support for XP. Users who use machines with Windows XP may use the previous version of Screamer Radio to continue using the program.
Probably the biggest change introduced in Screamer Radio 1.0 is that Windows XP is no longer supported. Back then it shipped with functionality to record streams which is not supported anymore. We have reviewed Screamer Radio back in 2007 for the first time and again in 2013.
