It’s been some time since we’ve had an update to Radioshift, our internet radio recording tool, but we’ve been hard at work on improvements. After several months of work, we’re nearing the release of Radioshift 1.5, featuring loads of fixes and some important new features. Before that release, however, we want to share a beta with some of our users so we can iron out any issues.

What’s New in Radioshift 1.5?

First up, Radioshift now supports many additional radio streams. Older versions of Radioshift were unable to play streams which use web-based players. With Radioshift 1.5, you’re now able to tune in to those web-based streams and that means Radioshift can play thousands of additional radio streams!

In addition to supporting more streams, Radioshift 1.5 provides more reliable recordings. Radioshift now attempts to reconnect to streams when they disconnect and also makes use of backup streams where they’re available. This will result in far fewer failed recordings, and who doesn’t want that?

Finally, Radioshift’s user interface is in the process of being updated and improved. Some of these elements have been updated, and some are still awaiting their updates, but you should be able to see some useful changes in this beta.
