Core components of the program have been updated in recent time, including BASS and lame_enc.dll. The developers have fixed many bugs that plagued some users, for instance long path bug when recording music. The latest version of Screamer Radio, released in March 2011, has not changed that much from the first version introduced back in 2006. The portable version is excellent if you do not want to install the program on your computer, or if you want to carry it around on an USB drive or stick, to have access to your radio stations from any Windows computer you are working on. The Screamer Radio application is available as a portable version and installer.
