iHeartRadio For Mac

Nowadays, when you want to listen to music, you can choose from a broad selection of streaming services and online radio stations, many of them completely free.

Once of these is iHeartRadio, an online radio service that lets you choose from a large number of radio stations, while also adapting its suggestions to your preferences, allowing you to create a personalized station influenced by your likes and dislikes.

When first launching iHeartRadio, you are presented with a list of popular radio stations, and this is where your listening experience begins. As you like, dislike and favorite songs, the app creates a personalized station that gradually adapts itself to your musical preferences.

When selecting a custom station, the app only plays music, without any commercials or other similar interruptions live radio is known for. You can even skip tracks, but there is a daily limit across all stations.

It should be noted that iHeartRadio is not an on-demand music provider, as you cannot play a specific song or tracks belonging to particular artists. You can search for them, but they are not played immediately, although they are used to refine your personal station.

The app works great if you are looking for a radio player or just want to listen to a particular genre of music, and you may end up finding a lot of new songs you have not heard before.

iHeartRadio has a minimalistic interface and can be accessed from the status bar whenever you want to select a different radio station, like or dislike a song.

When a new song is played, the app can display a notification on your desktop, but this function is can be disabled at any time.

Overall, iHeartRadio is a nifty OS X app that any music lover should try out, as it may help you find new and interesting songs by analyzing your listening habits.
