StationRipper: Rip songs from Internet radio

It's a piece of cake to record streaming audio from the web and save it to your hard drive, but I had no idea that it could be this easy to rip Internet radio into individual tracks with full tags. That's what Windows app StationRipper does, which causes me some surprise that, after two years in existence, it still hasn't been somehow bludgeoned to death by the RIAA. Anyhow, it has a laundry list of great features: The basic (free) version of StationRipper lets you rip two streams at once and intregrates with iTunes. The versions you pay for add a bunch of features you may or may not want, like ripping up to 600 streams at once (bandwidth and processor notwithstanding) and filtering tracks by length. Cool tool.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

That's odd. I just went on this site to search for a program that does exactly what this does, and here it is! It's like in the cartoons where they get an instant resolution to their problems by seeing an ad on TV.

It should be added that there's a freeware app that does much of the same for Mac, called StreamRipperX.

After fooling around with it for a bit, I've decided that I like the console version of StreamRipper (http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/), which this is based off of, better. With it, I can write a batch file to record just the programs I want. I don't really have the hard drive space to download everything on NPR every day.
