Everybody is trying to get a lot of music, have a variety of choices and of course have that music in the best quality possible. There are a lot of ways to get music on the internet and one of them, not as known as payed services, is internet radio. All you need to do is:

1. Download and install Radiotracker from http://audials.com/en/free_mp3_music_downloads/index.html

2. Start the application and wait a few seconds till the its database is updated with the latest radio stations.

3. Open the options panel in the bottom left corner and select the destination folder and other options too.

4. Select the genre of music you would like to listen and the number of stations (depending how fast your internet connection is) that should play simultaneously and click Start Autorip.

5. Once the stations are playing you can choose to listen real-time to any of them. You can also select specific radio stations from the Station button. Radiotracker will record every song that is played on those stations and store it in the destination folder.

6. When the songs are complete you will see them appear on the right side in the mini-player where you can also listen to them

7. If you are looking for specific songs or artists, then you can easily create a wish-list if you click the Music finder tab. This way Radiotracker will search for your favorite songs and when they are played on some radio station it will record them for you.


You will also receive for your songs the cover pictures and lyrics if available on the internet. You can see this information by simply clicking the songs in the miniplayer list.

And there are also a lot of other features like: the possibility to edit(cut) the songs manually, set various filters on what songs will be downloaded or not, create "playlists" of radio stations, sync with portable MP3-players and iPods, burn CD's or even create ring tones for your mobile phone


As a bonus, there is a podcast manager integrated, which lets you manage and listen your favorite podcasts.

It doesn't require special hardware, just your basic computer and a decent internet connection.

Enjoy!

Provided you only do this on Free material, or under creative commons licences allowing you to do so.

Hello,

This soft sounds to be really cool and everything but is ti legal???
I don´t know....I would like to have music like this, but I´m not sure that it´s legal.

You have to question the legality of this.

Hi there,

It is 100% legal

Much easier way to do this.

Download WavePad from NCH Music Software (be careful which site you go to, the other NCH site is for plumbing hardware!)

That records ANYTHING you can hear, as you hear it!

Just start your fave legal music station going, press RECORD (after choosing a new file) and enjoy! It will even save it as an MP3 for you afterwards.

Just remember, as it's recording EVERYTHING you can hear from your PC, if you're playing a game at the same time you'll get the game sounds mixing in with the radio sounds.

Thanx dude,for providing this link here,i m just going to download it.

It's really down to your own country laws. Given it's a domain that has changed a lot in the last years, I can't tell you…

So it's your own responsibility guys, have a look at the protections against private copies (if no legal text about the net applies, it's the corpus for radios that applies).

I can't even tell you for my own country given the uncertainties we are in for this…

HI,

So it took me a while until I decided to search on my own for answers and after looking up a bunch of legal stuff - laws, articles, etc. I found nothing that would forbid me to legally record internet radio stations.
To give these recorded music files to third persons would be illegal, but as I understand, as long as these recordings are for personal use, I am not doing smth illegal.
So, I finally checked some of these tools out, that record music from radio stations and this guy is somewhat right, Radiotracker is pretty awesome. The thing that makes it better than most of the other software is this thing called "MusicFinder" thing that will only record songs that you want.
According to their website, the soft "fulfills" 1682 music wishes/min.

Looking for this Radiotracker I found smth much interesting, Audials TV. It is a tool you can listen about 70 TV programs with, online, and it has all kind of music. BTW, it is FREE: http://audials.com/en/tv/index.html

Few days ago i bought this Radiotracker (a friend of mine is using it for some time) and before buying it I checked it out and I saw on its site that it is legal. Regarding its functions I'd like to say that it is a nice tool, as it can rip radio stations and also downloads MP3s.

Hy guys,
I'm new here and I'd like to ask you smth about this Radiotracker. I've just got its demo version and I downloaded some tracks. My problem is I don't find the files, I don't know where it saves the files. Can someone help me???

Ok, in the right side of radiotracker you'll see a button "Folder", there are 'hidden' your files. You'll see where are placed or also you can change the place for files from options. Good luck!!

Thanks, Clacha, I found my files, you're right. I should be more attentive and try to solve my probs without any help

I'm glad you solved your problem and if you have other questions about this Radiotracker you're my guest, I'll try to help you as much as I could..

I really like this tool, it has the feature to create a list with all my favorite radio stations and when it starts to rip it rips the stations I selected. But it would have been better if it had a 'bad list' or smth like that where I can select the stations I don't like.

Actually there is such a feature, you can ban the radio station you want, look for it in manage stations and you can ban it from there.

Great!!! So useful features. My demo version expired but I've already bought it so I can continue my music collections..
