StationRipper allows you to record more than 7,000 Internet radio stations, many users on broadband connections report downloading 3000+ songs a day. It will provide you with a list of available shoutcast stations and start recording them, creating a single MP3 file for each song the station plays. It also will allow you to record up to 300 streams at one time; drag-and-drop from iTunes radio; record video; use the memory recording feature (don't rerecord music you already have); remember the stations you've recorded in the past, allow you to easily rerecord them; track and play the music you've recorded; buy the music you are recording; ignore songs under a certain size; autorecord every time you bring the application up; chat with others about the stations you are recording (and share them); filter the songs to be recorded; and copy incomplete (and duplicate songs). Version 2.25/A has a French translation.
Editor's review of StationRipper Once you've experienced Internet radio, you may never go back to FM. Think about it: high audio quality and tons of content, without any advertising for antifungal foot powder. Programs such as StationRipper are the cherry on this ice cream sundae of audio bliss. Like the legendary Streamripper, StationRipper monitors Shoutcast Internet radio streams and saves individual tracks as MP3s. Just point it to your favorite station, specify a destination directory, and set it loose. If you don't know any Internet radio stations, no problem: StationRipper pulls a list from the Shoutcast Web site. You can set it to detect and record songs by title or artist. It also can record hundreds of streams simultaneously and skip already downloaded files. The interface, unfortunately, is cluttered with Google ads and is rather confusing. We also encountered some cryptic error messages. Nevertheless, once we got the hang of StationRipper, we generally found it easy to use. It's a great way to shift your favorite Internet broadcast onto your iPod for your morning commute.
