Hi Mike, personally, I never use the guide of replay A/V. I add all my own
stations to my list, use it as a Tuner, and use the URL finder to get at
embedded streams. So it may well be that RadioTime is a better choice for
those who seek a well maintained database of radio stations. It's something
I'm not personally looking for, but until your message I hadn't heard of
this programme so will certainly be checking it out for curiosity's sake. I
did see, when I took a quick look at the website, reference to integration
with Windows Media Center. This caught my attention as I use Media Center on
a Vista and XP machine.

I, today, spent some time playing with Replay AV; and can see why, those of
you who use it, are impressed with it.
I too would have been blown away if I had tried it before RedButton.
For my needs, at least, RB blows Replay AV away.
Here's why.
First of all, the underlying database the programs use in getting their
station info makes the Radiotime site, used by RedButton, superior in that
it appears to have a good number of stations that the Replay Media Guide
doesn't include.
Moreover, I observed that Replay AV must be loaded for automated recordings
to be made.
RedButton doesn't have to be opened and will, in fact, wake up the pc from
hybernation to do its work.

Don't get me wrong:  Replay AV is a topnotch piece of software and
especially likable by a blind pc user as it follows standard Windows menu
structures.  And I may well eventually purchase it.
While Redbutton initially turned me off due to requiring a Window-Eyes user
to extensively use my mouse keys (for which set files can assist), I have
grown comfortable with the program and have no regrets in paying the
$29 registration fee.

Question:  how prompt are the Replay folks in adding stations and fixing
links when reported via their feedback system?
