Add Shoutcast Radio Stations To iTunes
11:00PM Kevin Purdy | The CyberNet blog details an iTunes trick that expands the player’s internet radio options beyond the Apple-controlled list installed by default. The basic method involves finding stations that broadcast in the .PLS, or playlist, format, at media aggregators like Shoutcast and adding them to their own playlists. It’s similar to the method used to add .M3U-format stations to Front Row, but more suited to adding a few favourite streams rather than a host of search-able options. Have your own iTunes radio work-around? Let’s hear it in the comments. CyberNotes: Add Shoutcast Radio Streams to iTunes [CyberNet] More »
Schedule Streaming Audio Recordings in Linux and Windows
2:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Internet radio offers a lot of great music and programming for free, but not all of it can be downloaded whenever you’re ready to listen. Lifehacker reader Luke points us to a quick tutorial on setting up your Linux system to record radio or music while you’re away using the free kcron, Mplayer, and Lame tools. It’s fairly simple guide that leaves you with an MP3 of the program you were trying to catch. Windows recording enthusiasts can check out a similar guide for Windows Luke pointed us to, which requires a bit more command line work and tinkering. Thanks Luke!
