A quick look at the upcoming Online Radio Tuner v1.3

Here is a little update and teaser about the new features that version 1.3 will have.

Improved Options window

First, the current Tools->Options windows has kind of a boring, non user friendly look, which will be difficult to navigate.

Especially when more and more things are added to configure.

So here is how the improved Tools->Options will look like:

As you can see, to the left is the categories. When they are clicked, the right pane will show the related information about the selected category.

As an example, here is the network settings category:

Recording profiles

In previous versions, the Online Radio Tuner did only record in the MP3 format, at 128kpbs period. Many users requested the ability to record in other formats such as AAC and OGG. So here is the recording profiles category:

You can manage as many profiles as you want. Edit them copy, paste them. Common attributes for them are Name and Recording Folder. (Yes you can now save your AAC recording in a different folder from your MP3 recordings.) They also have unique attributes that relates to their own settings.

These recording profiles can be set on each Favorite too.

And on each Scheduled entry, so you can record your favorites radio show at 07:00 PM each day in an OGG format and in AAC at 04:00 PM.

Report non-working stations

From within the presets window, you can right click and select "Report as non working".

This will be an improvement on keeping the presets up to date by removing all those radio stations that seems to disappear every day.

Windows 64bit compatibility

This has been requested by many users, and the new v1.3 will add support for Windows x64.

The new version 1.3 is currently in the last days of testing, and will be released within the next few days.
