is an Internet music client that features a diverse collection of streamed radio "stations."
The publishers of Rolling Stone Magazine have partnered with RealNetworks to bring you a music service delivered in G2 technology. The program runs as a convenient icon in the System Tray area of the Windows taskbar, or as a compact or full-size window. In compact mode you can still see the title of the currently playing song, and the artist's name. In full-size mode you can select, scan, or seek stations, view current music news, and cast a vote of one to five stars to indicate your opinion of the current song. Rolling Stone Radio Player also has links that launch your Web browser so you can get the week's Internet top-ten list (chosen by the voting public), view detailed voting results, buy the current album, or chat with other listeners.
The over a dozen uniquely-programmed music stations include pop hits, modern rock, hip hop, women in rock, college rock, R and B hits, new wave classics, guitar rock, electronica, dance hits, country hits, classic rock, and David Bowie's Radio Network (DBRN). DBRN features a play-list created by Bowie that spans five decades of his favorite music. He personally introduces each track selection, including everything from chart-topping hits like Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" by Culture Club, to less familiar choices such as Scott Walker's "The Electrician."
