Introduction

Welcome to StationRipper! StationRipper is a Microsoft Windows software program that records and downloads music from Internet radio stations, such as Shoutcast streams, Web based stations such as Last.fm and Pandora.com, and Podcasts.

StationRipper is available in a free version as well as a paid version ("Silver" and "Gold" licenses). The free version will let you record as much as you want, but will "nag" you to register. It will also limit itself to two weeks of Pandora-like recording. The Silver and Gold editions have no limits - you can record up to 600 simultaneous radio streams (which translates to several thousand songs every couple of hours!), and as many web based stations as you like.
