Simply choose the type of music you want to hear from a drop-down menu. You can choose from genre or country of origination. Once you have made your choice, a second drop-down menu appears. Scan the second one and select your stream!

Viddiplayer contains a database of over 750 Internet Radio stations and audio sources. By selecting the "About" button, your station database is automatically updated, assuming you're connected to the Internet. Another button opens your browser and takes you to the Viddiplayer website. There are also buttons for mute, volume control, play, stop and pause.

But, this little player has a few more goodies: in the frame where it displays the current station that is streaming, there are three additional small choices. an "I" button provides more information about the artist, song and Radio station you're listening to. An "S" button let's you submit your favorite Radio station for consideration in the Viddiplayer database and the "F" button adds the station you are currently streaming to your favorites list.

The Viddiplayer is an excellent addition to your desktop for those times when you want to quickly select a web stream without any hassle.
