F.A.Q.

1. Where do I choose the proxy which I want Radiosure to connect?

Proxy settings are taken from standard Windows Internet Options. This options can be changed in Internet Explorer. Run Internet Explorer and choose Options -> Connection options in the menu.

2. How to record many stations simultaneously?

To record many stations simultaneously you can run many instances of RadioSure at the same time and record different stations.

3. There’s a setting under the recording options, but when I change it, it still records at the original bitrate. Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong?

MP3 streams are always recorded with its original bitrate because there is no encoding performed at all. The stream is just written into the file as is. So, it is recored without any loss of quality. There is no reason to record it with higher bitrate because that doesn’t improve the quality.

4. Can you please make a MAC/Linux/Win-mobile/Symbian version?

No, sorry. I have no experience with these systems. But as others saying you can run it under WINE in linux.

5. How do I install the skin?

It’s very simple. If the skin is packaged with an installer – just run it and follow instructions. If it is packaged as archive, then you need to unpack it and copy into “Skins” folder which is located inside the application folder.
Or you can simply drag&drop downloaded zip file with the skin into RadioSure window.

6. While recording I’m getting the begin of the songs cut off and the end of the songs clips for another song. Can you fix that?

Unfortunately this cannot be fixed because radio stations are transmitting the markers where songs begins/ends not really precise. In some stations the deviation could be 2-3 seconds or more; in other stations it is more accurate.

7. I’ve turned on the option to avoid recordings of advertisements but ads still being recorded. Why?

We detect ads by the length of the song – if the length is less than 90 seconds we don’t record it. But if the station put ads inside the song (don’t changing the name of the ad) then we aren’t able to detect such ads.

  1. Great program, thank you.

    One issue: I love to listen to
    .977 The Hitz Channel

    Although it is listes as “MP3 128″ ist is streamed as “WMA 64″.

    Anything wrong?

  2. Great application!!!

    Can you please add support for a proxy in the application itself so that it does not use proxy of Internet Explorer?

    Keep up the good work!!!

    Cheers,

    Ed

  3. I cant find the skins folder. Is it in the prefectech folder
    I dont see any other radiosure folders anywhere.

    thanks

  4. One great feature would be to be able to tell Radiosure to “record” at a certain time for XX amount of minutes, and then close down.

    It can be done right now by using windows sheduler and command line parameters.

  6. Wonderful program – I love it!!!

    There is one station that doesn’t load (cocoradio.com) although it exists, and one station I’d love to have but it doesn’t exist in the list (quu.fm).

    Is there an easy way to add stations to the program?

  7. Fantastic Program!! Many Kudos!

    Is is possible to delay the start of the recording of a new track to better synchronize the start of the recording with the actual start of the song? Some sort of offset control would be nice given some stations send the new song tag prior to it’s actual start.

  8. great software!

  11. Thanks a lot for making RadioSure available to us!!

    But there is one problem for me:
    Will there be a solution for stations not playing with RadioSure due to nacamar DRM?

    Is a solution possible at all for nacamar DRM?

  12. Ребята здравствуйте! Вопрос такой: 1. Как прикрутить дополнительную кнопку Open RecFolder на главную панель. 2.Как поменять цвет CONTROL “Status”, “STATIC”, SS_BLACKRECT | SS_GRAYFRAME | SS_ENDELLIPSIS
    CONTROL “Buffer”, “STATIC”, SS_BLACKRECT | SS_GRAYFRAME

  13. Fantastic! Works great in Vista and Linux/wine. Incredibly stable., and nearly all of the presets work, unlike another streamer that will go un-named.

    However, some stations that will connect when running in Vista do not when run in Wine. I haven’t figured that out yet.

    All in all a fantastic product!
