While terrestrial radio is something that has taken quite a hit in recent years thanks to online downloading and online distribution of music, more and more and people are starting to embrace the robust world of internet radio and everything it has to offer. There are literally thousands of options out there from paid to completely free internet radio services. No matter what genre of music or style of radio show you are interested, there is bound to be something out there for you. While this is true for both Mac and Windows users, I have still received the question from many more Mac users than Windows users. Luckily, there are a few great ways to easily record internet radio for listing at a later point in time on your Mac, whether it’s a internet radio station on iTunes or elsewhere online. Here are a few of our favorite apps:
Soundflower- (Free) This application extends the audio capabilities of your Mac OS X configuration and allows you to easily capture pretty much any audio coming out of your Mac. Depending on what your needs are, this can be much more handy than simply capturing internet radio. The best part, its absolutely free! (Requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later)
Radio Gaga- ($30) Lets face it; you get what you pay for. Radio Gaga does much more than simply allow you to record internet radio, it gives you access to 10,000 +, lets you record many stations simultaneously, and much, much more. Plus you get an UI experience that you’d expect from a paid, native Mac app. (Requires Mac OS X 10.5)
Radioshift- ($32) Newly integrated features and a UI update makes Radioshift one of the better internet radio audio capturing apps for Mac. This one doesn’t have the type of in depth organization and recording features of Radio Gaga, but it offers a much more intuitive and easy to learn approach for those that simply want to record their favorite show. (Requires Mac OS X 10.50 or later)
