Rogue Amoeba have just released their latest application called Radioshift (US$32). It’s promoted as ‘Radio on your schedule’ and lets you listen to and record Internet and FM/AM radio from around the world.

Because Internet radio comes in various different formats you’ll need to make sure you have all the right software installed before using Radioshift.

The good thing is that Radioshift makes installing easy. Simply select ‘Install Players’ from the ‘Radioshift’ menu and Radioshift will download the software to your desktop where you’ll need to manually install it.

The thing that radio enthusiasts will love is the fantastic search capacity.
Radioshift’s main window has three sections; Search, Popular and Favourites. To find a stream simply enter the name and choose from over 50,000 listings. You can also explore listings by ‘Genres’ or ‘World’. The ‘World’ option displays a map where you select the city and then get a listing of local radio stations. Subscribing to a station is as easy as clicking the ‘Subscribe’ button.

Radioshift will automatically wake your computer if you’ve scheduled a recording while your computer is off. Once you’ve recorded a program you can send it to iTunes and take it away with you on your iPod !

The team at radioinfo have a feeling this could be a hit with PDs while they are on holiday overseas!
