App to record the radio?

Feek · 6 Dec 2014 at 23:58

There's a programme on Radio 4 over Christmas that I want to record but I won't be home to do it.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an OS X app that will allow me to set up a scheduled recording of a specific radio channel? I know there are a few about but it'd be nice to get an actual recommendation.

Try Snowtape.

Thanks, have you actually used it or is that from a search?

I used to use but only for listening, never used the recording features but I know it can.
Its been a while since it was last updated but I know there is a new version/major update in the works.

Try this Voice Recorder.

Thanks for the suggestion but that's totally useless for what I want.

It doesn't have a built in radio streamer to record from it.
It doesn't have built in scheduling

Snowtape is working perfectly for me.

Listen again on iplayer?

If you don't find a useful app to cover your needs a more DIY solution, you could set up any app that plays the radio, and use Audacity to record it - using Audacity's Automation to tell it what you want to do, and OSX's Automator and iCal/Calendar to fire it off.

A bit more work, but a lot more powerful and should work with any app that outputs sound.
