@ Sope ... yes it is a great little mp3 player, it's pretty basic to look at but it's the sound that it produces that matters, I think... and all the features for such a small program.

@ Anupam ... got the manual now, don't know how I missed it, so thanks again for that.
I do like trying them all out, mainly the audio ones, and I've used the ones mentioned at various times. It's not that I lack disc space or resources, I just prefer the smaller apps with a simple GUI.. providing the sound is good.

I use RadioSure for internet radio, I love the radio, and that provides me with pretty much everything I need. It states that it has over 12,000 stations to choose from but I have to say that they don't all connect, however there are easily more that do than I'll ever use, I just favourite the ones I like. I used to use Spider Player but found that in the later versions the radio station search became a bit buggy... it's still good though, maybe it's improved now. I have the free version of Spotify also, although I know it's not available in some other countries, and the amount of music on there is incredible.. if you don't mind the odd advert. The only thing with Spotify is that it stores the files locally on your drive, you can adjust the ammount of space permitted for that but if your disc space is limited you need to keep an eye on it. That's my one exception as far as 'bloat' goes, but on the other hand it does reduce the temptation to go downloading anything and everything,.. sometimes just for the sake of it.

A small program that does the job is fine by me, if it can record that's even better.

Cheers.
