Record radio, record audio, record music, replay radio, pause radio, and record any live audio, all without missing a beat. With Skado you can record any audio on your computer, including recording Internet radio stations, Internet audio broadcasts, or even a radio or satellite TV you have plugged into your computer. You then can listen to the recorded audio whenever you want. You can even save songs or programs, and you can program Skado to record a specific radio program at a specific time. Version 2006.7.9 includes enhancements and bug fixes.
Editor's review of Skado A few performance issues aside, we generally like what this audio recorder has to offer. Skado's cleverly designed main interface mimics a remote control and provides icons for accessing all the program's options and actions. One of this application's nicest aspects is that it automatically detects any audio that's playing on your PC and immediately begins recording it as a WAV, WMA, or MP3 file at your specified quality level. Unfortunately, in some tests, Skado caused our default jukebox program to skip while it was playing tunes, which resulted in a poor-quality recording. The app also lets you record from sources such as a CD player or a line-in jack and supplies a scheduling feature, perfect for streaming-audio fans. The latter folks especially will appreciate a built-in splitting utility for dicing long programs into songs or segments. So long as you don't frequently encounter the audio-skipping glitch we noticed, Skado makes a flexible recording option.
