This is a very similar application to Radioshift but with a slightly slicker front end. You can also export audio into iTunes making it easy to listen to recordings on your iPod or iPhone.Īnother option for radio is Snowtape. There is no built in audio editor but Radioshift can hand off editing to any installed editor.

Playback is simple via the application which will also install any missing plugins to maximise the amount of stations it can support. You also get to see what is popular now and filter stations by genre, location or by full text search. The guide is impressive and had a lot of UK content although some of the local stations didn’t have a show list. Radioshift will record multiple shows at the same time and even wake the Mac form sleep so it never misses a show. You can use Radioshift to subscribe to a show and listen to it live but more impressive is that the application can record the show just like Sky+ does for TV. The big plus is seeing individual radio shows. Using the guide you can search for stations or individual shows and subscribe to them in the application. At the heart of the application is the Radio Guide. Radioshift can be thought of as a PVR for radio. If you are serious about your radio there are two options that really stand out

However searching is limited, the streams don’t contain many popular stations and it feels like a tacked on option. The most obvious is via iTunes which comes preloaded with hundred’s of stations. There are many way to listen to radio via the Mac.

While this is my main reason for buying a Mini there is a lot more you can do with it – listen to radio, stream audio and video and play games. Our last few posts on using a Mac Mini as a Media Centre device have focussed on using Media Centre software like Plex and Boxee to playback locally stored content.
