Radiotracker Platinum 6.1 software free download

Downloading music is a complicated business. There are so many sources, and so few of them are legal. Some people are able to blithely ignore this fact, but others would prefer a more guilt-free way of obtaining their favorite songs.

Radiotracker is an interesting program that allows you to record music from internet radio stations, a way of downloading music that the developers say is completely legal. Radiotracker also offers additional features such as format converting, a wishlist, a podcast function, and even ringtone creation. It goes without saying that you can also listen to the music via the Radiotracker player or export it to your mobile device.

The Radiotracker interface won't be to everyone's liking. It seems crowded, and is not very intuitive. Reading the manual is an absolute must, even for the most basic tasks. Luckily, the help files are fairly complete, and the Radiotracker website also provides a forum for difficult questions. The basic concept is this: you choose a music style or selection of radio stations and start recording. The downloaded (recorded) songs then appear in a window on the right where you can then listen, save or process them.

Any tool that helps you to get free, legal music is an interesting proposal. Radiotracker has ample configuration settings, automatically checks for updates, allows you to ban certain stations, syncs with your music player and uses intelligent filters when saving songs, so you don't get any duds.

Despite all these good points, there's a major 'but' - Radiotracker seems unnecessarily complicated. Although it may be a great program, it takes some serious effort to crack. While some users will be willing to put the work in, many will quickly tire of having to refer to the manual to identify every window and carry out every task - I know I did.

Radiotracker is a great concept, but its functioning is boringly complicated.
