The Zeitgeist

Rogue Amoeba has announced a really nifty new product called RadioShift. This program for OS X will allow you to browse AM/FM radio stations around the world and set up programs to be recorded off the web, OR, if you have a Griffin Technology RadioShark, you can record them over the air.

I’ve been a fan for several years of Audio Hijack Pro, which I use to capture many, many podcasts and radio shows that aren’t podcast (I’m using it very simplistically, it’s actually a whole audio studio); my only big issue with it (and one I’ve requested they fix over the years) has been that it’s a pain to set up recording times for things that aren’t in your time zone (i.e., I have to figure out what the local time of a broadcast in, say, London is and then set Audio Hijack to do the right thing). RadioShift seems to fix that problem quite nicely by giving you a very expansive radio program guide that helps you find programs and set up recording schedules.

I’ve just downloaded it: it looks like, as usual, the folks over at Rogue Amoeba have created another really, really elegant, well crafted and super-useful piece of software.
