Had to delete 2.1 and replace it with version 2.0.9
Adrian Vogel- Pros
- cannot think of any
- Cons
- I had to delete version 2.1 as it advertised a promo every 2 minutes or so
- Summary
Works well, functional
mortte0- Pros
- After initial problems with earlier versions Snowtape has become a most reliable streaming radio application. Instant playback and recording using system wide hotkeys work well.
- Cons
- Slightly dated interface.
- Summary
- Well worth considering if you're looking for this type of software.
Doesn't do what it's advertised as doing; no support.
htroberts- Pros
- None that aren't trumped by the raison d'etre not functioning. (and why don't you allow accented characters, CNET?)
- Cons
- I bought a license and set up a weekly recording schedule. Snowtape recorded the streaming show the first time, but not since then (it's been six weeks). New recording scheduled don't work, either. I checked the online manual and contacted support via the vemedio.com website to see if I'd done something wrong, and after three weeks they've not responded at all.
- Summary
- The concept is great, and the design is decent. It just doesn't work, and the developer doesn't seem to be interested in fixing it or dealing with customers. Save your money.
Does not work
wizardwanderer- Pros
- looks nice.
- Cons
- Does not work, and provider won't fix it, and will notrefund my money.
- Summary
- It's crap!
Very one-sided selection of stations...
ms63--2008- Pros
- convenient to use, easy recording...
- Cons
- the selection of stations only covers the western world (US & Europe), but misses nearly all Asian networks...
- Summary
- Compared to Radioshift Snowtape lists 1 station from Hong Kong (Radioshift 26), 0 from China (Radioshift >300) and 0 from Taiwan (Radioshift >100), only 5 from Thailand (Radioshift >200) and so on... I did not make a complete comparison, but my simple Philips Webradiobox offers by far more stations... So if you are interested in software, which covers the "world", then forget about Snowtape...
Works great, easy to use, looks good.
divendave- Pros
- Great internet radio with too many stations world wide. Super easy to record music getting artwork and META info. One button transfer to iTunes. Allows you to edit before transfer to iTunes saving drive space. Just Get It.
- Cons
- None, even the $29 price is not bad for all that it does and for all the stations that are preprogramed and organized by categories.
- Summary
- If your going to buy a program to hear internet radio, record music and transfer it to an mp3 player - BUY THIS one. I set it and forget it. Keep what I like and delete the rest. This program should come with your computer. You'll love it.
Getting Better All the Time!
danomar_dotmac- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This latest update dropped a few of my favorites, but they were easy enough to add again. For me, the best new feature is streaming via Airport Express. It still lacks timed recording, but as is, Snowtape is still my favorite streaming player. It has a small RAM footprint, has been very stable for me, and the quality of some streams is better than even iTunes.
Music lovers' great tool
Fariborz Amirshahi- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.

Streams, records and downloads internet radio to iTunes
divendave- Pros
- Can add your own stations, especially from iTunes radio. Easy to set and forget. Cuts songs well but if you want to edit it is simply and obvious. Export directly to iTunes with album cover and most if not all Meta data. Can search/change album cover
- Cons
- Doesn't always cut songs correctly, but it is easy enough to edit and import to iTunes.
- Summary
- Highly recommend this program. It does just two things, streams and records/edits and it does them very well. So easy to use with radio buttons for what you need.
Amazing
VersionTrackerUserOpinion- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This software is really outstanding. It creates recordings of your favourite internet radio stations seamlessly. It automatically cuts songs, adds album artwork and exports it to itunes directly. An absolute must!
