Great program that really does what is says. I certainly have no complaints at all. Thank you.
If I could suggest a couple of features that would make it perfect (for my personal uses)...
I know very little about writing software, so this may be more about iTunes that Streamers, but, it would be really great for me to have the ability to choose a bit rate for each individual scheduled recording (for it's import to iTunes) without necessarily affecting the default import bit rate in iTunes' Preferences. For example, if I were to record O'Franken (now re-titled The AL Franken Show), I'd prefer that it imports to iTunes at a much lower bit rate (like an audiobook) than when I'm importing from a music CD. This feature doesn't make or break this program in any way, as one can achieve the the same thing in other ways. It just isn't automated. This is a great program.

Thanks for the kind feeback! I think I probably could add an option to do what you ask. Maybe for each show, a menu that corresponds to encoding & bit rate - with selections like: default, 64kbs mp3, 64kbs aac, 128kbs mp3, etc. Default would do what Streamers does now, import every recording using the encoding and bit rate you have set in iTunes. As soon as real life gives me a breather, I'll try to add this.
