Taking Control Of The Infinite Dial
June 27, 2008
Sean Ross Ross gets it right, its not old radio or internet radio, just radio. Infinite Dial
Even before Wednesday's announcement that Chrysler would make its 2009 models Internet enabled, terrestrial broadcasters faced multiple challenges in securing their place on The Infinite Dial: the WiMax car radio of the future that would make every station stream in the world available to motorists

Time for radio with RadioTime
By Christopher Breen
Nov 29, 2005
Does iTunes’ Radio listings fail to satisfy your craving for real radio? Perhaps it’s time for RadioTime.
If you’ve fooled with iTunes more than a time or two, you’re aware of its Radio entry—an area of the program where you can listen to a variety of streaming Internet radio broadcasts. While having access to over 500 free and easily streamed music- and talk channels is a boon in anyone’s book, iTunes’ offerings are a little limited. Try to tune in your favorite “real” radio station—the broadcast channels you listen to in your car or on the kitchen radio—and you’re bound to be disappointed. Worse yet, iTunes provides no way for you to record those streams.
I’ve recently discovered a service that provides access to over 37,000 broadcast and streaming music- and talk stations from around the globe—RadioTime. Without paying a single penny, you can tune into a load of stations offered by the service, and play them through either Microsoft’s Windows Media Player or Real Networks’ Real Player.
For an annual fee of $39, you can schedule and record these programs, effectively turning your computer into a TiVo for broadcast and streaming radio. If you’ve attached a compatible radio receiver such as Griffin Technology’s $70 Radio Shark to your computer, RadioTime subscribers can tune it through the RadioTime client as well as record its output.

Beyond Recording
September 29, 2005Today Peter Svensson an AP Technology writer published a short review of three competitive "radio recorder" software products.
Peter appreciated a few of our strengths, but he gave the nod to a competitor called Replay-Radio. He felt RadioTime was more confusing. Congratulations to the good folks at Replay-Radio.
The short review covered recording streaming programs. We'll argue why our recording is best. But radio is also great live. This post responds to a few points then outlines some our our unique advantages as a consumer service.

RadioTime Aims to Be TV Guide For Radio
September 14, 2005James Careless from Radio World agrees the radio industry needs a consumer guide, they need RadioTime.
RADIO WORLD, September 2005
TV viewers can find the shows they want using TV Guide, and record them for later viewing using TiVo; so why can't radio listeners do the same? Well, now they can using RadioTime (www.radiotime.com); a website that allows you to search for favorite streamed shows for free, and record them using RadioTime's player/recorder for $39 a year.

Radio Meets The PC, Again
June 28, 2005
Arik Hesseldahl from Forbes nails the real value behind RadioTime-the guide. Content, no matter what kind (am/fm radio, streaming radio, or podcasts) is useless if no one can find it:
Full Article »I'm becoming a bit of a connoisseur of computer programs that allow you to record radio programming onto your computer. One of the newest and most useful is from RadioTime, whose subscription service, also called RadioTime, helps listeners track, find, discover and record programs.
If you've used programs such as Radio Hijack or Radio Lover on Mac computers, or perhaps tried AudioFeast on the PC, you've come to understand the basic drill: record streaming audio from the Internet on a schedule similar to what TiVo (nasdaq: TIVO - news - people ) does with your TV. Move the file of the recording to your favorite audio program, sync it with your favorite portable player, and you can hear the program at the time and place of your choosing.
RadioTime does all that, but it adds one important component that most of the others are missing: a detailed schedule and the ability to work with an over-the-air radio tuner if you have one.The result is an intriguing mix for radio junkies.

This Is Not Your Father's FM Radio
June 27, 2005![mp3 insider logo](/images/posted/mp3insider.gif"){kind=small}
Eliot Van Buskirk of MP3.com writes:
Full Article »Old-school radio meets new-school technology, as an upstart service devises ingenious ways to put radio onto your MP3 player and Nokia offers a sneak peek at its next-generation N91 phone (which includes a 4GB hard drive for music, no less).
All we need now is a good, smart way to put radio onto an MP3 player. Several players on our Top MP3 Player lists have FM tuners, but most have less-than-perfect reception (due in part to interference from spinning hard drives). And, of course, the near-ubiquitous iPod line lacks FM completely. (Griffin Technology had planned on selling an FM tuner attachment for the iPod but scuttled its plans due to some new issue with the 3G iPods. I'm thinking that the problem was related to the spinning hard drive somehow.)
A service called RadioTime could be the perfect answer for adding talk radio to the iPod, or to any other player that supports MP3s. It's like TiVo for radio, except better. TiVo can only capture broadcast video, while RadioTime lets you search and record both broadcast and online audio. In fact, users of the service don't need to distinguish between online and terrestrial radio, because they both get recorded via the same easy-to-use interface.

RadioTime.com Hopes To Do For Radio What TiVo Did For TV
June 20, 2005
Adam Balkin from NY1 News highlights RadioTime:
Full Article »Can a new website do for radio what TiVo and digital video recorders did for TV?
“It consolidates radio programming from all around the globe - music and talk - and makes it very easy to find, and then listen to it when you like and where you like,” says Bill Moore of RadioTime.com.
RadioTime.com is, at the free level, very basically a worldwide radio listing similar to a TV guide. The $40 yearly fee, though, allows you to record webcasted shows and move them to a digital music player.

You can make your own podcasts, WAMU
May 03, 2005
From The Computer Guys, WAMU Washington:
The big thing I wanted to talk about today… people have these old business models. Someone comes roaring in with a new business model and you gotta duck. The new business model is RadioTime. Like TiVo did for TV except for Internet radio, with an interesting wrinkle, they can do it for local radio too.
You can make your own podcast this way. You can pick all the programs that you like. On Internet stations, or, if you want to record local stations that are not broadcasting on the Internet there is a box you can get. The computer can tune the radio and gets the audio stream from the USB port and they’ll record that as MP3. You can get broadcast stations and Internet stations.
This is really going to affect people like Audible. They are selling subscriptions. These guys are saying you can pre-plan and you can record a show as it is broadcast and download it into your iPod…

Finding the best of online radio
April 18, 2005
From Digital Music Playlist:
Full Article »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:
Full Article »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.)

A TV Guide For Radio
From Billboard Magazine:
Full Story » (registration required)The goal is to become the TV Guide for radio programming and to provide one location where users can find a program, or a musical format, and then record it. “It’s sort of like a TiVo for radio, but we don’t do any of the recording. The business is as a guide and the legal issues are the same as with TiVo,” Moore says, emphasizing his desire to provide a legal and valuable program-guide service.
Web site visitors can search for specific personalities and show times, or they can browse the music and talk station listings, with schedules, by geographic location or genre..

RadioTime: TiVo for radio online
February 07, 2005
Full Article »These days you can get "radio" over the web at your convenience and in your preferred format: live in real time, downloaded, or archived. Just about any respectable station will provide some of their programs over the internet. However RadioTime aggregates the full schedules of 5,000 commercial and public radio stations and provides a uniform web-based interface to their schedules and your preferences of how and when you'd like to hear them. Like a TiVo for radio, you can browse, sort and shift the universe. You can use RadioTime to program your RadioShark, or you can simply program RadioTime to record certain select programs to your computer, or even better, drop them right into iTunes. It's then an easy hop into the iPod for playing in the car (which is how I like to use it since I am never driving when This American Life is playing on the radio.) Their web-based guide is free; to record from it they charge a $39/year subscription.

Sleek, easy system to manage Internet radio listening
November 02, 2004
From The Radio and Internet Newsletter:
Full Article »The wealth of variety offered by Internet radio, and computers' capability to digital record and manage the audio they receive, has resulted in any number of new services online characterizing themselves as "TiVo for radio."
One of these services, called RadioTime, is unique for its professional presentation, top-level content offerings, and ease-of-use in finding, recording, and listening to radio streaming on the Internet.
The RadioTime home page offers rotating "features," steering listeners to shows and stations they might like. For deeper browsing, there's a guide to find and record local broadcast streams and Internet radio. Users can browse and listen to big-name syndicated broadcast shows (R ush Limbaugh, Jim Rome, "Morning Edition"), AM and FM broadcast programming (music and talk), and hundreds of Internet-only providers. The browse list can handily be sorted by frequency, name, genre, format, stream type, and location.
RadioTime customers can manage their Internet radio listening by using the RadioTime schedule to find content, and downloading the optional recorder to save streams for later listening. Then, shows can be saved and moved to portable MP3 players.
The service uses Windows Media Player to manage recordings or move them to CD and portable players -- but, quite usefully is also compatible with WinAmp, Real, MusicMatch, iTunes or anything that plays MP3 files.

REVIEW: RadioTime
October 24, 2004Full Article »What is it in the last two months -- ReplayRadio, podcasting, RadioShark... and now RadioTime. It's similar to ReplayRadio in that it records Internet-streaming radio stations by a schedule that you program. But this program/site is much friendlier to use than ReplayRadio. It'll record what it hears and save it as a MP3 file which you can transfer to your MP3 player of choice.
