Free radio recorder works like a charm

Mp3_crawler Imagine there was a program to record music from hundreds of online radio stations with the click of a mouse and even schedule recordings like a VCR. It exists -- and it's free, to boot.

The Crawler Radio & MP3 Player is a mere 603KB download that lets you listen to and record Internet radio streams, selected from preloaded stations provided (most without commercials) or by adding your own favourite online radio stations.

If you need to leave the house but want to record an upcoming show, pull up the scheduler and select which station to record from the drop down menu, what time to begin recording and what time to end. Now you can listen to that recorded audio anytime (and offline, too).

Because files are saved as MP3s, you can also copy over the tracks to a portable music player such as an iPod. Quality varies between stations, however, maxing out at 192 kilobits per second (example: "Powershot" dance radio). Preloaded stations are listed by popularity or by genre (rock, pop, classical, alternative, country, gospel, and so on).

For easy access, a handy option upon installation is adding a Crawler Radio & MP3 Player toolbar in your web browser. Crawler's terms of use policy includes a disclaimer that you must not use the service to upload or distribute copyrighted material.
