Listen to and Record Streaming Internet Audio
The face of traditional radio broadcasting - using a radio to listen to news, weather, sports, and music - is changing.
Large private broadcasters, as well as the U.S. Federal government, are pouring huge amounts of money into Internet streaming audio to reach listeners all over the world. Why?
Because operational costs are much cheaper. The monthly power bill to run high-powered transmitters; to maintain them; and pay qualified technicians are staggering. AM and FM stations have a limited footprint and only propagate so far. The Internet is everywhere. You and I can even start our own radio station in our house and reach people all over the world. Our cost: whatever we pay for our broadband access!
With that said ...
Here is a real neat utility that lets you search for, listen to, and record Internet streaming audio no matter where you are in the world. It is called RippedRadio.
For example, when I was living in Thailand, I used RippedRadio to attach to a home town radio station in Wisconsin as well as WLS in Chicago.
I also used RippedRadio to record some of the programming and it saves it as MP3. The best thing I like about RippedRadio is that I can search for my favorite music (Jazz) and look for commercial-free stereo radio stations and have RippedRadio record it. Each track is individually separated by title. My routine was to launch RippedRadio before I retired for the night and when I wake up in the morning, there are several hundred MP3s residing on my computer. Unbelievable!
RippedRadio has a built-in Audio CD creator were you can even create audio CDs from the MP3s you downloaded.
The application is loaded with features. You might want to check it out.
There is an affiliate program as well and you can earn a cool 40% commission.
Here is a video showing some of the capabilities and features. Enjoy!
