			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/radio_music.jpg" alt="radio music" title="radio music" width="128" height="101" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11904" />Internet radio has become very popular lately with thousands of radio stations at the user&#8217;s disposal at all time. Most music players are capable of playing Internet Radio without installation of add-ons; All that is needed to start listening to Internet radio is the url of the radio station. Radiosure is a radio music player that aids the user by providing access to thousands of radio stations in its interface.</p>
<p>While experienced users access websites like Shoutcast inexperienced users might like the idea of an all-in-one application that starts playing music instantly and makes the selection of music stations easier than ever. The music player will list more than 12000 Internet radio stations in its interface which can be listened to with the click of the mouse button. All stations are listed by name, country, genre and language with the option to sort by any of the parameters.</p>
<p>The search will probably be the function to find radio stations as it is faster and more convenient than scrolling through the massive list of stations. The developers should think about filters that allow users to narrow down the results in the list automatically.</p>
<p><span id="more-11906"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/internet_radio.jpg" alt="internet radio" title="internet radio" width="396" height="337" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11905" /></p>
<p>The only other feature worth mentioning is the record button which can be used to record the current stream to the local computer. Recordings will automatically be split by track and an option exists to skip already recorded tracks. The functionality is however not as advanced as that of specialized tools like <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/07/18/record-multiple-internet-radio-stations/">Streamripper</a> or <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2006/03/03/stationripper-record-internet-radio-streams/">Stationripper</a>.</p>
<p>A portable and installer version of Radiosure is available at the developer&#8217;s homepage. The program is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and Windows XP</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web services like Last.fm are hard pressed to find ways to monetize their inventory to even come close to the bills for the server structure, administrative and development teams, bandwidth and everything else that is connected to their service.This is especially true for services that stream contents on their websites as this usually results in heavy traffic. </p>
<p><a href="http://blog.last.fm/2009/03/24/lastfm-radio-announcement">Last.fm</a> have now announced that they will start a subscription based service for a large part of their user base which will go live on March 30, 2009. Users not living in the countries United States, United Kingdom or Germany will have to pay a subscription fee of 3 per month if they want to continue listening to Last.fm radio. All other parts of the website remain freely accessible for anyone. Users not accessing from the three countries listed get a 30 track free trial before they cannot listen to the radio streams anymore unless they subscribe to the service. It is unclear if that 30 free track trial resets each month or if it is only available once. It should be made clear that this does not affect song previews or full tracks that are listed on the website.</p>
<p>Nothing will change as well for existing subscribers. The Last.fm blog post where the announcement got posted is full of criticism about the move. One of the main questions asked is why those three countries are exempt from the fee. The reason is ad revenue next to a strategic decision which are considered key markets. Advertisement simply pays less if a user from India, China or South Africa views it or interacts with it compared to users from the mentioned key markets.</p>
<p><span id="more-11454"></span>It still remains unclear why Last.fm made the decision. Most users who expressed their opinion think that either the Recording Industry or CBS has something to do with it. If the Recording Industry was the culprit it is most likely because of licensing fees while CBS might want Last.fm to run profitable or at least even. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many ways to legally download music from the Internet. The various methods depend on the legal situation in individual countries. It can be said however that it is completely legal to record music from Internet Radio stations. Another definitely legal way is to download music that has been uploaded by the artist or the record company for public download. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.remlapsoftware.com/">ESP</a> is a software program that combines both concepts. It makes use of the Shoutcast directory of Internet Radios that the user can listen to online. It provides the means to record the active stream right away. Other applications that handle this well are <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/07/using-streamripper-to-save-internet-radio-tracks/">Streamripper</a>, <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/01/13/free-internet-radio-recorder/ ">Musicy</a> and several music players like <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/15/how-to-record-internet-radio-with-aimp2/">AIMP2</a> or <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/tag/xmplay/">XMPlay</a>.</p>
<p>ESP would not be special in this regard if it would not offer a more or less unique feature in addition to being able to record Internet Radio. The software can automatically search for music that has been publicly made available by the artist or the record company. The developers say that ESP looks only for music that has been uploaded by the artist to social networking websites. The software itself will not display the source of the music download which could be reason enough for cautious users to not use the feature. Tests revealed that it pulled songs from websites like MySpace.</p>

<p>ESP is available for most Windows operating systems including Windows 98, Windows XP and Windows Vista.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Musicy is an Open Source software program to record Internet radio. The main benefit of the Internet radio recorder over similar applications like <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/07/using-streamripper-to-save-internet-radio-tracks/">Streamripper</a> is the all-in-one aspect. Musicy provides the means to find, play and record Internet radio without having to switch applications or running software in the background.</p>
<p>The free Internet radio recorder provides access to four modules in the main interface. The Stations module can be used to find Internet Radio stations. The user can search by music genre or keyword and display the top 500 or random Internet radio stations. </p>
<p>The Rip and Listen buttons can be used to start the recording of the Internet radio station or to listen to it in the embedded player module on the same page.</p>
<p>The Ripper module will display the selected Internet radio station with the option to start the recording. One interesting feature of Musicy os the ability to add multiple Internet radio stations to the ripper which can all be recorded at the same time if the network connection of the computer provides enough bandwidth to do so.</p>
<p><span id="more-9858"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/free_internet_radio_recorder-500x299.jpg" alt="free internet radio recorder" title="free internet radio recorder" width="500" height="299" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9859" /></p>
<p>The free Internet radio recorder will display the bitrate, the downloaded Megabytes and the time the computer was connected to each Internet radio station. The total bandwidth that is currently used for the recordings and the size of all downloads is shown in the module&#8217;s status bar. </p>
<p>Musicy will automatically save the song using the name of the artist and title if the Internet radio station is streaming those information.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regular readers already know that I recently switched from using XMPlay to AIMP2 which provides the better total package. One of the interesting functions of AIMP2 is to record Internet radio (yes XMPlay can do that as well). It took a while to find out how this function could be enabled in the player and this article should act as a guideline to everyone who wants to use the music player to record Internet radio.</p>
<p>The first step is to find an Internet radio station. The <a href="http://www.shoutcast.com/">Shoutcast</a> directory should provide something for every music taste on the planet. A simple click on Tune In should load the stream in AIMP2 if it is configured to play the playlist files of Internet radio. Since we have to configure one setting in the music player&#8217;s option anyway I show you how to make AIMP2 the default player for the playlist files first. Once that is done we are going to configure the options to save Internet radio in a proper format and select a directory on the hard drive.</p>
<p>Pressing [CTRL P] after starting AIMP2 will open the player&#8217;s options. Selecting the Associations entry under System will bring up the various compatible file types the player can play. If AIMP2 is your default player you can simple click on the Enable All button to associate all file types with AIMP2. The important file type for Internet radio is .pls which you find at the bottom.</p>

<p>AIMP2 should now start playing the Internet radio whenever you click on a link that leads to an Internet radio playlist. Now head over to the Streaming menu under Player.</p>

<p>You have to pick a folder where the music from the Internet radio station will be saved in. A directory of the data will automatically be added in the root directory. The second option is about the format of the recorded music. The default is wave which takes up lots of space on the hard drive. A better option would be to select mp3 as the format. Either 192 or 256 Kbit should be good choices. Other choices are ogg or flac.</p>

<p>Now that the settings have been made it is time to start the recording. The recording option is only available in the main client and not in the minimal client. You can start the recording by clicking on Radio Cap on the left side of the player. A blinking text indicates that the player is recoding the music.</p>
<p>Users who would like to record more than one station at a time might want to take a look at <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/04/07/using-streamripper-to-save-internet-radio-tracks/">Streamripper</a> instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recording Internet Radio for private use is legal in most countries. It is an excellent way to increase the own music collection legally in short time. You find several free and many paid applications on the Internet that offer to record Internet Radio but none that worked so well as the Stripper and Streamripper combination.</p>
<p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/stripper/">Stripper</a> is a Java frontend for <a href="http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/">Streamripper</a> that offers and easy to use interface with the option to add and record multiple Internet Radio stations simultaneously. Both applications are available for a variety of operating systems including Windows and Linux.</p>
<p>I would begin by installing Streamripper on the system. Stripper itself is a JAR file that can be executed without installation if the Java Runtime Environment is installed on the system. It asks for a few preferences at start, most notably the path to streamripper.exe and the path where the music should be saved in.</p>
<p><span id="more-5411"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/stripper1-500x241.jpg" alt="streamripper stripper" title="streamripper stripper" width="500" height="241" class="size-medium wp-image-5415" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s only a matter of finding a few Internet Radio stations where the moderators are not forced to talk into every song to prevent the clean recording. A good start is the <a href="http://shoutcast.com/">Shoutcast</a> directory which lists thousands of Internet Radio stations sorted by popularity and music genre.</p>
<p>The urls of the streams ending with .pls usually have to be copied and added as a new Stream in Stripper. A click on the record button starts the recording of that Internet Radio station. </p>
<p>I tested it with six simultaneous stations and it worked nicely. The limit seems to be the capacity of the user&#8217;s Internet connection more than anything else.</p>
<p>The frontend provides stream specific settings. Users can change settings like the User Agent, proxy servers, the maximum file sizes and length of recordings and even schedule recordings to record their favorite radio show. Tags and other information are saved by default if the stream is sending those information. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recording Internet Radio is not a new invention, several programs offer this ability for years. I&#8217;m thinking of Streamripper, Screamer Radio or XMPlay which all have functionalities to record music from Internet Radio. A new concept, at least for English Internet users as far as I know, is to save mp3 from Internet Radio stations on websites which provide functionality to play and save the mp3 after the recording. This concept has both advantages and disadvantages.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.chilirec.com/">Chilirec</a> [via <a href="http://blog.go2web20.net/2008/04/record-radio-chaneels-from-internet.html">Go Web 20</a>] provides access to more than 350 Internet Radio stations and gives the user the option to save some or all streams using the service. It is very likely that Chilirec is recording all stations around the clock and only providing the users access to the stations after registration. The first benefit of this approach is that the user does not have to keep his computer turned on to record Internet Radio. </p>
<p>The service is recording independently which is a definite plus. The 350 stations that can be recorded simultaneously are a plus as well. It is impossible to record that many stations from a single computer. Recording starts right after picking the stations that should be recorded. The interface looks a bit messy at that point listing all the 350 stations on one screen. Only the titles are visible and it is kinda hard to pick the interesting stations.</p>
<p><span id="more-3919"></span>T<a href='http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chilirec.jpg'><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/chilirec-300x208.jpg" alt="chilirec" title="chilirec" width="300" height="208" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-3920" /></a></p>
<p>The amount of mp3 that are accumulated in short time is fantastic. It took less than fifteen minutes to record more than 500 mp3, guess how many you can record in a day or two! Not all of them are interesting though and the ability to sort through them should be essential for the online service.</p>
<p>A search is available that provides a search for artists, genre or song titles. The search works fine as does the playback on site and the saving process. A click on a mp3 makes it possible to save it to the hard drive. I was able to download mp3 even without creating an account on the site. I suppose all recordings up to that point are gone if I would not have created one during the session.</p>
<p>The greatest shortcoming of Chilirec is that users cannot add new stations to be recorded. If your favorite station is not among the 350 you are left with recording it on your own.</p>
<p>Chilirec works surprisingly well. Recording, saving and playing is working flawlessly and fast enough to be enjoyable. Great service especially for those who want to increase their music collection. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Streamripper was released in a new version today and I would like to use the opportunity to explain how you can save Internet Radio tracks using Streamripper. You actually do not need another software to accomplish this because Streamripper can be used from the Windows command line. Lets say you almost need no other software for that because you need to find out a stream url of course. Begin by download the latest version of <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6172&#038;package_id=258843">Streamripper</a> for Windows from Sourceforge.</p>
<p>Once you got that install the software. You might notice the Winamp Plugin which is probably the better way of saving Internet Radio tracks because you can use it from within Winamp that way. Since I&#8217;m not using Winamp I favor the command line option. Another option would be to install Winamp and use it just for the purpose of downloading Internet Radio tracks.</p>
<p>Streamripper can save track information, like artist and album, if the Radio Station is sending those information. This is great because you will end up with correctly named and tagged tracks. If no information are send you will end up with one huge mp3 file in the end.</p>
<p><span id="more-3748"></span>I assume you have installed Streamripper and are ready to go. The first thing that we need to do is locate a Internet Radio stream. You can use <a href="http://www.shoutcast.com/">shoutcast</a> for this for instance which is a directory that contains hundreds, if not thousands, of Internet Radio stations that can be listened to directly with the click of the mouse.</p>
<p><!--more--><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/internet_radio.jpg" alt="internet radio" title="internet radio" width="500" height="251" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3749" /></p>
<p>What you need to do to find out the stream url is the following. Right-click the tune in button on the Shoutcast website and select Save Link As from the menu. This will download  a .pls file that contains the information that we need. Open the Playlist file in a text editor and locate the line beginning with File1=. The stream url is located in that line.</p>
<p>Now open the Windows command line (Windows R, cmd, enter) and navigate to the directory where Streamripper was installed to. It is located by default in the streamripper folder in program files.</p>
<p><code>cd c:\program files\streamripper</code></p>
<p>The command to start saving songs from Internet Radio stations is a basic one, it is.</p>
<p><code>streamripper url</code></p>
<p>Enter the stream url that you found earlier and Streamripper will automatically begin to download songs to your hard drive. One useful parameter is the -d parameter which defines the directory where the music is saved into.</p>
<p><code>streamripper url -d e:\music\new\</code></p>
<p>This would save all songs in e:\music\new\. The major benefit of running Streamripper in command line mode is that you do not need to listen to the music while ripping. It&#8217;s a bit more complicated than using Winamp or XMPlay but it&#8217;s probably worth a shot if you have none of these players installed.</p>
<p>If you want to save two streams at the same time you simply open another command line window and use the command with the second url again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Pandora was a great service while it did last. Users from outside the United States where able to listen to Pandora, the Internet Radio that would create music stations based on artists or songs that you like. The Music Industry made the decision to block access to Pandora for all users from outside the United States although most users reported that they discovered new music that they found interesting and that the majority actually bought music they discovered at Pandora.</p>
<p>You are not the only one who thinks that something is not right here. Still, Global Pandora uploaded an announcement to their website that all US IPs of Global Pandora have been banned by Pandora so that access is currently not possible anymore. They ask users to use <a href="http://www.jango.com/">Jango</a>, <a href="http://imeem.com/">imeem</a>, <a href="http://www.spotify.com/">Spotify</a>, <a href="http://songza.com/">Songza</a> or <a href="http://www.shoutcast.com/">SHOUTcast</a> in the interim period.</p>
<p>It remains unknown if <a href="http://globalpandora.com/">Global Pandora</a> will make a comeback because new IPs will most likely get banned after a while as well. They are looking for U.S. servers and shells nevertheless to bring the service back to life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thelastripper.com/download.html">The Last Ripper</a> has been released in a new version. The software can be used to save Last.fm music and requires a Last.fm username. The usability and interface has been changed a lot in this new version. The first change is probably the most important one: Users can now search and create Last.fm playlists inside the program instead of copying and pasting urls from Last.fm into The Last Ripper.</p>
<p>The Skip song function works properly as well and you can just sit back and watch how all the songs that are played are recorded to your hard drive. Album covers and ID3v2 are appended automatically. Other updates include support for international characters and http proxies.</p>
<p>As I said before it is possible to search for songs or artists and create radio stations that can be recorded but it is also possible to use personal stations, playlists, neighbors or to paste urls that point to radio stations. Works perfectly to increase your music collection in no time.</p>
<p><span id="more-2881"></span><img src='http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/save_last_fm_music.jpg' alt='save last.fm music' /></p>
<p>The Last Ripper is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. The newest version however is only available for Windows at the moment. Found the update at <a href="http://www.alterfalter.de/2008/01/15/thelastripper-ein-gutes-mitschnitt-programm-fuer-das-internet-radio-lastfm-jetzt-noch-besser/">Alter Falter</a>, a German blog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meemix reminds me a lot of Pandora. It&#8217;s a music recommendation service that finds related artists and tracks from information that you enter. Once the first artist was found that you have entered additional artists and tracks are played once the song finishes or you click the next track button.</p>
<p>User can rate songs from -6 (not) to +6 (hot) and change their mood using the mood control. You can select if you want to hear relaxing (1) to party (6) tunes on another slider and if you want to be surprised or not. Files can be downloaded using Orbit Downloader and Grab++. They are in mpx format which XMPlay can play without difficulties.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.meemix.com/">Meemix</a> does have other features like a friends list, ways to find and listen to stations from other members of the website. It is also possible to block songs, buy songs and add other songs from the album to your favorites. Best of all, Meemix is available to everyone and not only US listeners.</p>
<p><span id="more-2872"></span><img src='http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/meemix_internet_radio.jpg' alt='meemix personal internet radio' /></p>
<p>Browsing other Radio stations is kinda cool. You can listen to the most popular stations, browse genres, stations with highest fan growth and newest stations. Great service that looks really promising.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pandora is a music service only available to users from the United States that is creating radio stations starting with an artist or song the user recommends and adding related artists and songs to that. It was free for everyone some time ago but due to rights issues it was restricted.</p>
<p>The usual method to access Pandora is to use a proxy that is located in the United States so that Pandora believes that you are from there to. A far better solution was posted in the comments of this blog yesterday.</p>
<p><a href="http://globalpandora.com/">Global Pandora</a> offers the Pandora interface on a independent website that requires no registration. Just enter a song or artist and a radio station will be build and you can listen to it. All without using a proxy, hiding your real IP or registration.</p>
<p><span id="more-2828"></span><img src='http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/global_pandora.jpg' alt='global pandora' /></p>
<p>It even offers way to create an account and share music with your friends. All the choices that you have at the original Pandora website as well. I did no try those though and would be cautious to use them. This service is great but it would mean that you would enter your login data, like email, username and password on their site and this is a security risk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing can be more frustrating than to listen to some great tune on Internet Radio which suddenly starts to skip ruining all the fun. The following, pretty obvious method, helps most of the time if you regularly experience stutters, slowdowns or skippings when listening to Internet Radio.</p>
<p>It is most likely that the buffer size is not large enough and therefor needs to be increased. This buffer pre-saves part of the stream which will be used when the connection speed drops. You should now that the connection is never a constant one but varies more or less depending on a handful of factors.</p>
<p>The buffer is therefor mainly used as a counterweight. Here are the ways to increase the buffer size in XMPlay and Winamp.</p>
<p><span id="more-2220"></span>You right-click the main window of XMPlay and select Options and Stuff from the menu. The Miscellaneous menu has a entry called Internet Streaming, a slider with a default value of 8s. You might need to experiment a little bit with the settings but raising to 10 to 15 seconds should be more than enough normally.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/11/xmplay-increase-buffer.jpg" alt="increase buffer to avoid skips xmplay" /></p>
<p>Right-click the main Winamp window as well and select Options > Preferences from the menu. Select Output > Plugins in the menu and click on configure after choosing a plugin from the list. The default plugin is Nullsoft Directsound Output.</p>
<p>Click on the Buffering tab in the new window and adjust the settings. The default values are 2000ms Buffer Lenght, 500ms for Prebuffer and on Buffer-Ahead. Max values are 20000ms which is a lot. I would start by adding 1000ms and testing that setting. Add another 1000ms if the music is still skipping.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t want to make a big fuss about it. I tried lots of softwares that record Internet Radio streams and found one that was the perfect fit for my situation. I prefer a software that would function as my main music player and be able to record Internet Radio streams over a software that would have the ability to record the streams but that I would never use to listen to music.</p>
<p>Thus, all those Internet Radio saving applications like Raima Radio, Stationripper or Phonostar have not made it into the final round. I also did not want to use huge media clients such as Windows Media Player that would simply suck up to many resources. What I wanted was a lightweight music player with the capability of recording Internet Radio streams.</p>
<p>I did find it. XMPlay is the client that is lightweight and is able to record Internet Radio streams. XMPlay uses just 6.8 Megabytes of Ram when playing high-quality Internet Radio which is as lightweight as it can get.</p>
<p><span id="more-2181"></span>The function to record Internet Radio is already implemented and can be accessed by simply right-clicking the stream url in the music player and selecting &#8216;Write to Disk&#8217; from the menu. This saves the stream from that point on until you stop the recording.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/10/record-internet-radio-streams.jpg" alt="record internet radio streams" /></p>
<p>It is possible to record the stream as one huge mp3 file or save individual tracks which is probably the better and organized way to record Internet Radio.</p>
<p>The only reason why I would choose another application would be if I wanted to schedule a recording or record more than one station at a time. Raima Radio would be the software of my choice if I wanted to do any of the above mentioned tasks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I love Internet Radio streams I sometimes find it hard to find a station that plays the kind of music I want to listen to right now. I do have some regular stations that I normally listen to but when I want to listen to something else I have to search shoutcast and tune in into several stations to find the one that is playing music I like to hear.</p>
<p><a href="http://tun3r.com/" target="_blank">Tun3r</a> is a web service that steps into this niche and provides a way to tune into hundreds of radio stations from their website and load the playlist into your mp3 player once you found a station that fits the profile.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/07/tun3r.jpg" align="left" alt="tun3r internet radio selector" />Tun3r basically offers two methods of finding a radio station. The first is to perform a search for an artist, a song, a genre, a language or homepage and the second is to simply tune into the radio stations and listen to the music they are playing on the Tun3r website.</p>
<p><span id="more-1754"></span>The second method reminds me a lot of the way one would tune into classic radios by changing the frequencys which is beautifully visualized on the main page of Tun3r.</p>
<p>Besides listening to the current song you see a selection of songs that have been played on the station plus additional informaton such as homepage and stream links and a description of the station.</p>
<p>I really like the way Tun3r is handling that many radio stations and prefer it over websites such as shoutcast who simply list hundreds of radio stations on one page.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pandora.com/" target="_blank">Pandora.com</a> made the decision to stop streaming music to users who are not living in the United States. To be able to do this they implemented a script that checks the IP address of every user connecting to the server and if that IP happens to be located outside of the United Stats of America you will not be able to connect to the streaming client anymore. Pandora already updated their FAQ section to reflect this changes, here is what the entry said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Delivery of Pandora is based on proper licensing from the content rights holders &#8211; we have always believed strongly in honoring the guidelines as determined by the artists, labels and publishers. In the U.S. there is a federal statute called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that provides this license for all the music you hear on Pandora. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent license outside the U.S.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-1494"></span>A tiny note on the frontpage is stating that &#8220;Pandora is currently for US listening only&#8221; which is another blow into the faces of music lovers. Pandora surely did not decided for themselves to limit their services which leads to the question why the Music Industry is trying everything to stop people from listening to music which they probably would have bought. But you won&#8217;t buy something that you don&#8217;t know, don&#8217;t you think ? Did not think the Music Industry could get any lower than they already are. They apparently can.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Today i discovered a independent online radio station which has owners that see radio as an art form and not a platform to turn out a endless stream of advertisement and mediocre music.At the moment they pay around 10-12% of their income in royalties for the music they play, which seems very reasonable to me.But the "US Copyright Board" has made a decision about online radio which will mean the end of Radio Paradise and many other online radio stations.

This new regulation means the stations have to pay not 10-12% but as much as 125% of their income in royalties.
So if they don't have some huge advertisers behind them (which will lead to a music station with a lot of advertisement, thus leading to the opposite they want to the station to be) they will not be able to continue their work and passion.
If you want to read more about this issue visit Save our internet radio which is made by the owners of Radio Paradise and is a good source for more information. ]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recommended Phonostar some days ago to record mp3 streams of more than 4000 radio stations which had the big disadvantage that it would not add the real filename, title and artist but use a generic name for the saved mp3 stream. <a target="_blank" title="screamer radio" href="http://www.screamer-radio.com/">Screamer Radio</a> on the other hand uses the meta data that is sent by some radio stations to add those information to the name of the saved mp3 file which makes it easier to get an overview over all downloads.</p>
<p>Screamer Radio supports Shoutcast and Icecast Mp3 Streaming as well as WMA and AAC streaming. A big list of <a target="_blank" title="screamer radio stations" href="http://www.screamer-radio.com/directory.php?welcome=1&#038;sort=time">supported radio stations</a> is available at the official screamer radio website. The preset tab holds a large list of radio stations which are directly accessible through screamer radio. Just choose a station and Screamer will automatically start the playback. Just hit REC if you want to start recording streams which will then be saved in the default location.</p>
<p><span id="more-1121"></span>A great feature of Screamer Radio is that you can hit REC even in the middle of a song and it will still be saved completely if it was not the first song of that radio station. Screamer Radio uses a buffering technique to make this possible. Best of all it is free, does not use many system resources and can be run in system tray. The only feature that is missing is the ability to save more than one station at once.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Until now IĀ“ve heard a lot about the music service <a href="http://pandora.com/" target="_Blank">pandora </a>offers but I never happened to test the service myself. Well, I tried it today and have to say that the concept itself is fantastic. You tell them a song or artist that you like and the service tries to find similar artists using characteristics of the artist or song. So, if you enter The Beatles for instance you will be connected to a radio that plays music that offers the same characteristics as the Beatles. </p>
<p>This will be most likely music from the same era, music that sounds a lot like the Beatles. This is a great way to find new artists and songs that you like. Everything until now is done without a registration. If you register you will be able to save your custom music stations and even save songs to your favorites. They offer a free version which is based on ads that are displayed and pay services that disable the ads. Even if you donĀ“t register, try it out, itĀ“s great.</p>
<p><span id="more-392"></span></p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong>  It seems that you may only listen to a few songs, after that you are see a prompt that asks you to register at the site.</p>
