Finding the best of online radio

April 18, 2005
From Digital Music Playlist:

Radio has gone way beyond local. Tune into the best the world has to offer.

A website called RadioTime is the closest you’ll find to a TV Guide for online radio. The RadioTime website contains a database of both broadcast and online radio stations, as well as individual program listings and schedules.

A free RadioTime Basic account grants you access to search the directory. The site also includes direct links to many online streams along with a listing of the bitrate for each stream. Additional features are available for paid subscribers to the site, such as scheduled recordings and integration with hardware radio tuners.

Gadgets Coax Radio Into the Digital Age

April 10, 2005
From The Washington Post:

Griffin's bundled software works fine, but its scheduling tools are quite limited -- and it lacks any sort of programming guide to let you see what's coming on the air next day or next week. For that, you need RadioTime.

For a $39 annual subscription, RadioTime (Win 2000 or newer, Mac OS X 10.3, www.radiotime.com) provides a TiVo-like program guide of local radio broadcasts that you can tune into on your computer using a sold-separately radio tuner. You can use a RadioShark, but a simpler-model RadioTime sells for $39 ($59 when bundled with a new subscription) and includes a telescoping antenna that yields better sound quality.

RadioTime's program grid, which also works with Internet radio streams, shows what's on the air now and can search for shows by keyword, style, genre and location. This information is based on what stations choose to publish ahead of time, often nothing. (But if you hear about an upcoming broadcast while you're at work, you can log into the RadioTime site from any Web browser to schedule radio recordings at home.)
