Live365 Announces Radio365
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 10:00 AM
Popular web radio feed site Live365 has just launched a new subscription service with media player called Radio365. The player software, which runs on both Mac and PC, allows listeners to tune into thousands of stream casts via the web. Unfortunately this product is not free. The monthly subscription fee is $14.95.
So....why would I pay this much money for media player software, just to listen to audio feeds on the web? Don't get me wrong, I'm not against moving to a pay service. Let's face it, the age of "free" on the internet is long gone. But fifteen dollars? That seems a bit steep to me. $5.95 would be more appropriate, especially for such a new product.
You can download 30-hour trial software here.
Update: It has been brought to my attention that the $14.95 price for Radio365 is in fact NOT a monthly charge, it is one-time only. Sorry for the mistake.
