Product Description:

Listen to your Favorite Radio - With its high-performance database, Snowtape is able to store thousands of radio stations for you to choose from. You can search for a particular station or sort the list by e.g. genre and bandwidth. You can also add any radio station onto your favorites list to help you quickly find the right station for your current mood.

Instantly Record the Program - It's as simple as clicking a button. Hit the record button while listening to your favorite station and recording starts instantly. Snowtape is able to cut the recordings at audio track boundaries automatically. Snowtape can identify potential commercials or interludes. With the built-in track editor you can cut out any interfering audio you do not wish to be exported.

1-Click Export to iTunes - Simply click the "Export to iTunes" button and the audio track is encoded to high quality AAC audio and saved right into your iTunes. Album artwork and track titles are automatically exported as iTunes Audio Tags and get incorporated directly into the audio track during export.

Import Internet Playlists - Snowtape can import .PLS and .M3U internet playlist files as well as .Webloc URL files. Simply drop your files onto the radio list or choose "Import Files" from the application menu. You can also provide Snowtape playlist or stream URLs. Snowtape checks every URL and only imports those that work.

Drag & Drop iTunes Radio - As a bonus, Snowtape also understands items coming directly from iTunes. This means you can easily import a radio station onto Snowtape by clicking and dragging from the iTunes list. It works with any radio station you previously imported to iTunes as well as with the complete iTunes radio catalogue.

Get Album Artwork - Vemedio partners with Last.fm to give you the bonus of album artwork and additional album metadata. In most cases, Snowtape can download this information automatically for you. Alternatively, a "Get Album Info" button searches and adds any album info and cover artwork available.

Snowtape CommentaryExceptional Program - Version: 1.3.4, 11/17/2009 08:40AM PST

Seldom have i found a program more useful, elegant, and satisfying than this one. Stations from almost any source can be brought into this interface to compliment the WIDE range of music choices found already here. Best of all, you can file these recording into itunes, or a desktop mp3 collection file. Indeed, music for any mood. i listen to it daily as i work.

Snowtape ReviewVery nice - too expensive - Version: 1.1.2, 7/17/2009 03:30AM PST

I've downloaded and tried the demo version and I have to admit, it's really nice and it seems to be quite reliable.
However, $29,- for it is way too expensive and thus it deserves only two stars and I also would not recommend it either. I hope the developer will read these reviews and realise that they would make more profit if they halved the price for this app.

Snowtape ReviewMusic lovers' great tool - Version: 1.1, 6/25/2009 02:20PM PST

I already own Radioshift and although it's a great program I finally bought and switched to Snowtape. The reason is that I found Snowtape's interface very nice and intuitive and its integrated recording and editing feature is second to none. It's also very fast when tunning to or switching channels and now version 1.1 adds even more funtions like importing directly 750 new stations and a more practical interface. I was skeptical at the beginning to buy this program and used it in DEMO mode for a while but now that I own it and in the light of the new enhancements I can't recommend it enough.
