If you’re interested in playing and recording internet radio, you’ll want to check out Radioshift, which has received an important update today. Starting with version 1.6, Radioshift now has support for AAC audio. This means that hundreds of additional streams from around the world can now be accessed and played from right inside Radioshift. As more and more radio stations switch to streaming in the higher-quality AAC and AAC+ formats, Radioshift will be right there to support them.

Today’s update also brings with it several minor bug fixes, including curing a problem where some Flash-based streams wouldn’t properly play, so all users should be sure to update. If you’re already using Radioshift, just choose “Check For Update” from the Radioshift menu to get this free update. If you’re not using Radioshift yet, you can learn more here, then download the free trial to check it out.

Wei, an Apple modder from Malaysia, has put together a nice little mod involving an AirPort Express, speakers, and a clock. He used the clock’s casing (and tossed the clock), then coupled everything else together to make a great-looking speaker and AirPort Express combo!

A lot of parts in a little case.

The end result is a nice frame which can sit anywhere. It’ll play audio from iTunes or Airfoil – very cool!

Two quotes, from the very same article discussing jailbreaking the iPhone and yesterday’s Copyright Office announcement:

According to Apple, the company’s support department already receives “literally millions of reported instances of problems flowing from jailbroken phones.”

Translation: Don’t affirm that jailbreaking is legal. People think it’s illegal now, and it’s a huge problem already!

“As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones…”

Translation: No one is jailbreaking anyway, so who cares if it’s legal?
