INTERNET RADIO ON YOUR SMART PHONE
In the interest of simplicity,the easiest method I’ve found for recording internet radio/streaming audio to my smart phone is by using a couple of stand alone sound editing applications.
I use the iMic recording program from Griffin Technologies. It is designed primarily to convert analog recordings(lps and cassettes) to digital format, but can also be used to record streaming audio. This app costs about $35.00, and is for Mac/PC. The hardware connects via USB, and has an input jack for mic/line in, and an output jack for speaker/line out.
The iMic editing program is called Finyl Vinyl. There is a 17 page manual included, and the software is pretty user friendly. Included in the interface is an equalizer with 10 bands which can be turned on/off. Editing is also possible through the Quick Edit screen for adding/removing tracks or silence(if signal is dropped during recording).Tracks can be labeled as well. It records in either WAV or AIFF formats, which, however can’t be played on Blackberry. The file needs to be converted.
