With its high-performance database, Snowtape is able to store thousands of radio stations for you to choose from. You can search for a particular station or sort the list by e.g. genre and bandwidth. You can also add any radio station onto your favorites list to help you quickly find the right station for your current mood.

It's as simple as clicking a button. Hit the record button while listening to your favorite station and recording starts instantly. Snowtape is able to cut the recordings at audio track boundaries automatically. It can identify potential commercials or interludes. With the built-in track editor you can cut out any interfering audio you do not wish to be exported.

Simply click the "Export to iTunes" button and the audio track is encoded to high quality AAC audio and saved right into your iTunes. Album artwork and track titles are automatically exported as iTunes Audio Tags and get incorporated directly into the audio track during export.

You can import .PLS .M3U and .XSPF internet playlist files as well as .Webloc URL files. Simply drop your files onto the radio list or choose "Import Files" from the application menu. You can also provide playlist or stream URLs. Snowtape checks every URL and only imports those that work.

As a bonus, Snowtape also understands items coming directly from iTunes. This means you can easily import a radio station by clicking and dragging from the iTunes list. It works with any radio station you previously imported to iTunes as well as with the complete iTunes radio catalogue.

Snowtape partners with Last.fm to give you the bonus of album artwork and additional album metadata. In most cases, Snowtape can download this information automatically for you. Alternatively, a "Get Album Info" button searches and adds any album info and cover artwork available.

The new Mini Controller is a valuable addition if you listen or record a lot in the background. It is equipped with buttons for Play/Pause and Record. You can change the volume and see what‘s currently playing. During a recording the Mini Controller gets a little bigger and makes space for the recording timer.

RadioURL is a service for shortening long radio stream URLs. Take the URL to RadioURL.com and make a new short URL that is a lot prettier for posting in e-mails, blogs or Twitter. If you click on this URL you can listen to the radio station immediately. RadioURL.com automatically forwards the link to Snowtape, which starts streaming in a blink of an eye.

With Snowtape you can see instantly if a track you recorded or the song that is currently playing is available in the iTunes Store. Snowtape brings you to the Store with one mouse click.
