"Cable TV's selection of music-television broadcasters is limited to MTV and Viva. The Internet offers much more.

Our editorial team took a look at RapidSolution's new, free tool.

Easy-to-operate

Audials TV can be downloaded free-of-charge from the Audials TV Web site as a mini-application for the Windows Vista sidebar or as a standalone application for Vista and XP.
