Radiotracker rocks!, found on Amazon.de, November 7, 2007
I just bought this product and I am very glad I did.
I read a few things before buying it and the fact that it has many international awards, one from about.com among them, caught my eye, so to speak. The awards are numerous and also the articles in magazines I found written are positive.
It is an exceptional product and before anything else: it is legal!
It has everything you need to get yourself quality music. It has a function that makes it easy to find the right music, even a particular song you wish for. If you use this function, just leave the tool started on your PC and in a short time you'll have all the music you like and wished for. It also has a feature, with the help of which you can create ring tones from the tracks the tool has previously found.
Really, it's cool. I can only recommend it, after having tested it.

Great software, found on Amazon.de, September 11, 2007
Radiotracker 3 Platinum shines with its title/artist wish list function. Pretty much every song one enters onto the wish list is eventually (in a short time or eventually) ripped and (as long as you set the quality level to a minimum of 128 kbit/s) saved as an MP3 file with excellent sound quality. A personal music collection can quickly grow to a few hundred tracks. One also has the ability to rip from multiple broadcasters (depending on available Internet bandwidth) at the same time or record music based on individual tastes.
The software is relatively easy to operate because it focuses on the most-needed functions. The built-in Player and burning programs are quite satisfactory. The ring tone generator, on the other hand, is completely unnecessary. If you want to record German songs/broadcasters, you'll have to have a bit more patience. This is not because of the software, however, but rather because most German broadcasters transmit on the Net either in an incompatible format or in dismal quality.
The only real piece of criticism is the lack of an editor that allows one to edit the title of a ripped track. For this I had to (unfortunately, even though it was free) download an additional freeware application. This is especially incomprehensible, when faced with the fact that so many DJs insist on rattling on with each other during the beginning or end of a song. On the basis of the missing editor function, the not completely effortless automatic cutting function and the poorly functioning duplicate song filter, I have to hold back a star.

Very good software!, found on Amazon.de, August 1, 2007
I recently acquired the software after having researched the various offerings on the market and having come to the decision that Radiotracker sounded like the right choice for me. The ability to create a "wish list" alone was enough to attract me more to Radiotracker than to the others.
Yesterday was my first real-life test and until now I can say that the program has lived up to my expectations. I entered my wish list. I watched the title and – no joke – five minutes later I had my first track.
Almost certainly I'll have to adjust my settings a bit — a part of the beginning of the song was shorted by the DJ's speakover and then faded in. But just as described in the manual, all of this can be configured — one option is to record the song multiple times, hoping one lucks out and gets a recording without any DJ yapping.
One marketing tactic on the side of Radiotracker 3: You do indeed get 14,000 radio stations... but only when you don't consider reception quality. At the "good quality" level I had on average 1,500-2,000 stations available. But that was enough to get 11 of my wish list songs within a half an hour.
I can't ask for more than that! Therefore five stars!

Great software — strange licensing, found on Amazon.de, May 5, 2007
The program is really fantastic ... It's really getting to the point where one can no longer listen to all the music one has. Radiotracker beats most of the other competitive programs based on its wish list function alone, which records the specific songs the user wants and saves them as MP3 files.
The one thing that bothered me while I was deciding to buy was the different license models from RapidSolution. There is a Radiotracker Premium version that doesn't contain the wish list function (which in my opinion is the most important). And then there's the Platinum version which has full functionality.
In total, the program is so fantastic that I've had it running almost the entire day now and I already have more than 300 hours of music.

Danger of addiction!, found on Amazon.de, April 28, 2007
The software delivers what it promises: music without end. The wish list function also works as expected – even if it sometimes takes a bit of time. It's nearly impossible to listen to everything that gets recorded. An additional hard drive is obligatory. But it's money well-spent.
