Ripped Radio

Ripped Radio is an application that allows you to connect to various SHOUTcast compatible servers/broadcasters and save the streaming audio to one or more MP3's. These broadcasters are just like any traditional radio station, usually consisting of a "crew" who pick the songs that will be played on their internet radio station. The broadcaster can choose to play any type of music they like. Whether it's from a MP3, a WAV file, a "Line Recording" plugged into DJ equipment or microphone. Click here to see a listing of live SHOUTcast servers and radio stations that are available. Since the Internet is the medium used to transfer the audio, all broadcasts are worldwide and can come from anywhere in the world. Ripped Radio gives you central access to all of these broadcasters, and then with one click you can download and listen to any station you choose. With CD quality digital audio that can be accessed from anywhere in the world, it somewhat makes AM/FM look prehistoric. And with the advent of Ripped Radio it sheds a whole new light on the topic.

Before Ripped Radio, users would primarily use Winamp to connect to the SHOUTcast broadcasters and listen to the music. With Winamp alone there was no way for someone to save what they heard to their computer. Ripped Radio is designed to download and listen to the music at the same time. Being so there is very little work needed to obtain a large quantity of music, all you need to do is choose a genre and a station that looks good, THOUSANDS to choose from, and then as the broadcaster plays one song after another, Ripped Radio downloads each song to a separate MP3 file. So by clicking one button you can essentially get hundreds of MP3's that fit your taste.

Ripped Radio lets you create your own Audio CDs from MP2, MP3, MP4, ATRAC3, AC3, RA or OGG files. The Ripped Radio v2.01 Audio CD Creator does not require you to purchase a third-party burning program such as Nero (currently selling at $69.95). The Ripped Radio v2.01 Audio CD Creator is a standalone and integrated program. Ripped Radio is very affordable and offers you everything (Internet Radio listening, searching, recording, music downloads, audio CD burning, CD/DVD data burning) the others do not!
