Short Wave for Mac (formerly RadioZ) Review

There is a long list of internet radio applications out there. But most don't seem to have a wide array of features that allow you to integrate it all onto multiple devices. Not until Short Wave, formerly RadioZ.  It streams multiple radio stations, selected by you, onto your Mac in one place. Then gives you the chance to sync it up to listen on an iPhone or iPad.

Remote for iPhone: Sync Music from All Your Devices

Digital music is the sound of the future, and everything has been switching to MP3. No one really buys CDs anymore, and it is much simpler to just download full albums or just songs from places on the web like iTunes. But moving them from one place to another is a hassle, and something that still frustrates music lovers who would prefer to have all of their music in one place.

MediaMonkey4: Awesome FREE Music Management Tool

Be honest...how much music is on your computer? Yes, I want you to include the flagrantly illegal downloads you pretend you don't have in that figure. Hundreds of songs? Thousands? Tens of thousands? More?

We all have some kind of device in which we can expand our musical library. From our PC/laptop to smartphones or digital media players and tablets, most of us have several. Because of the wide accessibility our libraries have grown, as well. It isn't uncommon to collect hundreds of gigabytes of music alone.

Spotify for the iPhone and iPod touch

I have a feeling that by now most of our readers (that means you!) know about the cross platform application called Spotify, which allows you to stream the latest music to your computer. Well, maybe only those of you that live in Europe. Recently enough a mobile version of Spotify was released for the iPhone and iPod Touch which has full access to the complete Spotify catalog. The downside to this mobile application is that it requires a Premium account which costs €9.99 a month here in Ireland to use it. I have a feeling that you guys are wondering whether or not it’s worth it.

I may not have tested it out myself, but by the looks of it I have a feeling this could be the iTunes killer. When you first download and open the application you will be prompted to enter your account details. Once you’re into the application you’re greeted with one sexy green interface. From the homepage of the application you are able to play, remove or even sync playlists. You’re probably wondering what the syncing feature is by now. You probably thought this application was only a music streaming app, didn’t you? You thought wrong. With Spotify Mobile you can actually sync your playlists to your iPod for offline use!

Syncing of playlists is a wonderful and unique feature. If you’ve got a slow Internet connection or you’re using the Edge network to stream the music you’ll probably be hating the quality. Syncing playlists fixes that problem within minutes. All you have to do is sync your playlist whilst at a wifi hotspot and off you go! So if you are using the 2G iPhone you should definitely sync all of your playlists for the best results.

Besides the playlists feature you can also search for songs, artists and even albums, which is just great when you’re out and about, and you want to listen to the latest and greatest music. The playback of music is just so clean and crisp and it comes in a music player that every iPod user is used to. It looks exactly like the iPod app on the iPhone and iPod Touch which as everyone knows is simple to use so you can easily warm to this application. Unfortunately when you quit Spotify Mobile and head back to the springboard, the music stops which is really annoying. Despite that, it’s definitely a wonderful app and I recommend that you check it out now!
