Well, that was a bust. Nexus Radio wanted to install the Ask.com toolbar
and it was pre-checked. So at the very least it's bundleware. However,
it was only after I got the software installed and started the program
that I discovered I would have to create a "free" account in order to
use it.

Thank God for Total Uninstall 2.35 and System Restore. Off that sucker came.

It at least helps to clarify what you /think/ you mean.

Of course you are talking about the streams -- the streams *are*
internet radio.

The typical situation (for internet radio which is what we are talking
about) is that an internet radio 'portal' collects the streams from the
various internet radio sources (of content). That is how the free reciva
portal works -- except ('except' from your perspective) that the reciva
portal that one accesses with a browser is *not* the same reciva portal
that one accesses with an internet wifi radio.

It is the same content, but the streams and the mechanism may differ.

You would like for there to be a reciva-like portal (you may call it
nexus or you may call it Pandora or you may call it 365 or you may call
it something else) also free which you access not with a browser at the
reciva (or nexus etc) site and not with a reciva-type wifi radio device,
but instead with a nonbrowser nonradio program that is freeware that you
run on your computer instead of an internet radio device.

I'm looking for something that has huge lists of radio stations like
Screamer and Radio? Sure! do. I don't think Pirate Radio Destiny Media
Player has such lists. Or am I missing something?

Sorry for butting in, I can't see the original post.

I've been using ResizeEnable with Radio Sure and it makes it easier to
use. You can't maximise but you can stretch it to read the columns. If
you close and restart Radio Sure you have to rearrange it again but
it's no great bother.

Thanks, but I've already tried that. It made the program buttons go
outside the program window and thus, the program difficult to use.
