The problem with RadioTracker and Screamer Radio it seems is that Shoutcast radio streams deliberately vary the time when the MP3 tags change in relation to where the songs actually change and thus you never get accurately cut songs. Either you get part of the next song or you are missing some part. The second problem is that all Shoutcast streams that I tested will cross fade between songs thus making it impossible to get perfect results. RadioTracker does have a built-in editor to cut songs manually. However, try editing 100 or 1000 songs and things quickly start to become tedious. I found that iGetMusic on the other hand will deliver perfectly cut songs with nothing whatsoever left to do. It will even pull the album covers for each song which is pleasing to the eye when playing back with Winamp. Yes, it only records AOL, Shoutcast and Play.it but these have 200 plus stations of all common formats and you can even build your own radio stations (with artists and music which you like). While I found that while some specialty stations are missing (I like Italian music for example which), iGetMusic seems to be the best choice for automatically expanding a music collection. I still will use RadioTracker though for some specialty stations but the convenience factor of iGetMusic is just impressive. Also, songs recorded with iGetMusic will only take up half the disk space than songs recorded by RadioTracker.
