<description><![CDATA[Tried it for about a week, just uninstalled it.  For playing radio, it seemed limited to Winamp/Shoutcast stations. I couldn't find several commercial and public stations on a search that I know are not on Shoutcast. Also seemed sluggish compared to something like Winamp.  Worst of all it left a client running even when the program was manually closed (RGService.exe).

Based on these comments I am trying Screamer Radio freeware (Portable Version off a flash drive).  Much faster, and has a recording function.  Screamer is a very basic program that does what is needed.  Like Winamp but leaner.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I started a forum topic called "RadioGet bug reports and feature requests" (Sorry for not doing this sooner).

I would include a clickable link here, but it seems that there is a bug (or an overzealous security feature) in Giveaway of the Day website "leave a comment" submission form, and I cannot properly href the direct forum url into this message. I'll submit a forum topic about this.

So, either search for "radioget" in the <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">forums</a>

OR here is the address that you can copy into your browser address bar to see the forum topic.

<description><![CDATA[imho musicy isn't too bad. it requires net framework.
it has no presets, so to get list of stations, you have to search by 
genre, keyword and other options.
when you hit rip, it doesn't start ripping, it adds station to a ripping que list. can record more than one station at a time. volume
control,
I;m not sure of the reason for tick boxes beside each station are for.
if you stop recording before a track has finished, it looks like it won't save it.
There is no help file.
freeware

<description><![CDATA[Update to my previous post:

When I got up in the morning, RadioGet was sitting there doing nothing. It looks like it stopped recording shortly after I went to bed. I have no power saving options on the machine except to blank the monitor after a while. I didn't even lock the interface overnight. Not sure what happened there. :-(

Feature request:

It would be nice if users had the option (radioget feature) to tell radioget to store music from a station in a folder of the station's category / classification of the genre of music (and then by artist type as it is already doing). AKA - now that I have recorded music from my 4 stations, I am going to have to go back through the songs and figure out which category they go in, and reorganize them manually. (sigh).

Of course, if the user could tell radioget a separate folder for each station's recordings, this might cover the needs of more users. Both features would make a nice "easy/auto organization" and "advanced organization" features.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Radioget
I like the option to record 1o stations simultanesly.
As another person said, it would be nice if it didn't place each artist into seperate folders. But maybe there was an option not to do that.
It took too long to start up.
It didn't delete stations, i asked it too
So i got rid of it

Nexus radio
It didn't have a text search option, as far as i could see, so i deleted it.

radio sure.
I'm keeping this one for the moment. It loads fast. It loads my last search result. IT Would be nice if it would record more than one station at a time.

screamer. it wouldn't connect to a station i tested on it, so i said bye bye

radio rama- tried it, didn't like, too complicated to go into reasons why.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Downloaded from GOTD. Installed on Xp, Service pack 2 three times now, and every time I click on "Buy", it either says it is forced to stop because of a compatibility issue or the program just crashes or exits, whereas in any case the window for reporting the error to you people comes up.  I had even downloaded the zip file and extacted it to install it the 3rd time with the same results.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Interesting and workable, but as a player without recording enabled, it has a couple of problems (under Vista).  (1) With record off, it will only play one station.  If you choose another, any attempt to play a station via a button, a nav-bar button, or a context menu fails.  You have to exit the program to play another station.  (2) Closing puts the player in the task notification area (and you can't configure that not to happen).  Choosing Exit on the task notification context menu shows the app again with a quiting-will-stop-recording message, even though nothing is recording. 

Did the developers ever use the app just as a player?

This is okay for free, and has nice possibilities with the record features, but if you they don't fix the play button problem and provide more configuration options, they will not get $25 for the app.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is my first internet radio program. My wife likes music, so i thought I would give it a try for her. I mostly like it a lot, but it seems it has plenty of bugs (features?) that it seems anyone should be able to find in normal quality assurance testing before releasing(??!!). Of course, I'm a bug magnet, so maybe its just me. I'm using WXP 32bit, fully patched. I'm passing these along not as complaints, but to help the devs make a better release for next time.

Before I started using favorites, I would click play from a song on the right, and it would appear in the upper left, playing and recording. I would then use the controls in the upper left to control that station. If I stopped it from recording, it would disappear. I can't remember if stopping playing had anything to do with it or not. So I went through several songs, and genre playlists doing this. However, I noticed that sometimes stations would start recording in the lower left when the next song came on even though I was not playing or recording that station anymore (it had automatically disappeared from the upper left).

While this was going on, Sometimes, as I was clicking around other genre lists, some of the old stations (that used to be in the same slot on the right), would play instead of the current genre item I was trying to get to play. I'm wondering if this also had to do with not using the favorites / auto disappearing?

So things that seemed to prevent the above two items from reoccurring:
1. shutting down the software and starting it up again, seems to have cleared the immediate ghost problems.
2. they don't seem to happen for stations that you mark as your favorites.
3. they don't seem to happen if you always use the controls in the genre list on the right (instead of the controls in the upper left).

So now I think I've got it understood. I'm recording 4 stations, and read at gaotd comments about the don't auto record checkbox. I went and turned that off, and then clicked to stop listening to the current station, and now I cannot listen to ANY stations, even though they all seem to be recording just fine. I figure I'm going to have to stop and restart the app again. This worked, but of course, the 4 songs I was currently recording are toast. 

I'm also hoping that if I leave it running overnight, I'm not going to have a bunch of songs recorded and then deleted when I wake up in the morning. (That rumored deleting when the list gets full should be an option, devs) although this was not my understanding by reading cues from the program, just the gaotd comments. Also, I would prefer options for recycle bin or skipping the recycle bin and outright deleting. And finally, just to delete / purge fragmented songs from the list / drive. I know this can be done manually, but where's the fun in that?

I did occasionally do things on the computer that would cause the audio I was listening to, to skip. But when I played back, it sounded like it recorded ok.

I do like the following things: the dark theme, the fact that it can record, more than one station at a time, you can listen to any one of them or a completely different one (usually; see preceding paragraph), there are about 24,000 invisible stations (nice one, "Fred"), but existing ones are already generally categorized for you (no promises they're accurate!) and should be enough to get anyone started. I figured serious internet radioists already have a big station list that they can probably export and import(?). That would also be a nice feature for this program as well, if it is not already there. Hopefully I'll figure out how to add other stations - doesn't seem straightforward the first time I glanced at it.

Thanks all for your helpful inputs, and GAOTD and radioget for the neat offering.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Great sound from my Logitech 5.1 setup with this package. Had to run it through Media Centre to get it to recognize my sound card, though. Lots of stations available here in Canada. Have not checked how good the recording is yet though, but sound is great, interface nice--- but should let you pick sound card, or speaker/headphone choice.]]></description>
