Like the situation with Browseback and SmileOnMyMac, Radioshift is a terribly disappointing product from a really good company with an excellent reputation. Much like with Browseback, I've found that Radioshift simply ignores the settings I've set for it. For example, I'm very particular about recording specific shows on specific stations at specific times (i.e. CBC Radio 2's The Signal) and I maybe I just want to record that show for a few days.

Instead I find that the recordings are either for a completely different time/show, or on a completely different station, and further more, instead of the three or four days I told it to record, Radioshift would just keep on recording, regardless of the date that I told it to *stop*. I found that left unattended, Radioshift gleefully ate up over 1 GB of space on my boot drive without me knowing it. I had to essentially disable Radioshift's scheduling function...which is sad, since scheduling is pretty much one of the main selling points of Radioshift in the first place.

I want to like this app, so much - it's an amazing concept from a good company I want to support. But this app makes the egregious sin of simply ignoring whatever settings I put into it, instead doing whatever it wants to do.

It's really too bad that Rogue Amoeba killed their user forums - at least I would have had some consolation that I wasn't alone in my frustration.
