Preferences



Radioshift's preferences can be accessed from the Radioshift menu.

Radioshift's Preferences window

Recorder Settings

Recording format: The Recording Format determines the audio settings Radioshift will use to record, including the file format (AAC, MP3, AIFF, or Apple Lossless) as well as the bitrate for compressed formats (AAC and MP3).

Save recordings to: The Recording Location determines where audio files are saved on your hard drive. By default, this is in the Music folder of your Home folder, but you can set it to a different location or a different drive entirely.

Automatically wake/power-on: When this option is on, Radioshift will attempt to wake the machine from sleep or power it on as needed to record audio. For Power-on to work, you must have automatic login turned on in the Accounts System Preference.

General Settings


Edit audio with: Select the editor to be used with Radioshift. Radioshift will pass audio files off to the selected editor when the Edit Audio button in a Subscription is pressed. We recommend our own audio editor Fission, but any audio editor should work fine.

Show recording status in menu bar: This setting toggles the Recording Status Indicator, visible in the menu bar.



Show count of unheard recordings in Dock: This setting toggles the badge on the Dock icon, showing how many new recordings Radioshift has.


Automatically check for updates: With this on, Radioshift compares itself to the most current version available from our server and alerts you when a new version is available. Leave this on to stay up-to-date.

Guide Settings


Hide listings that require additional software: By default, the Radio Guide lists programs that may require additional software to be played. We recommend installing the Flip4Mac component and RealPlayer, so you can access all audio streams. This can be done from the the Install Players... window, under the Radioshift menu.

If you chose not to install all the audio players, you can turn this setting on to filter out audio from players you don't have installed. Please be aware that doing so will provide more limited Guide searches.

Hide unsupported listings: In the interests of completeness, the Radio Guide has some listings that can not currently be played due to limitations in Radioshift. To hide these listings entirely, simply turn this checkbox on. Please be aware that doing so will provide more limited Guide searches.
