Snowtape 1.5 Available

After 2 months of active development on a groundbreaking new release of Snowtape, I am very proud to present Snowtape 1.5 available for download today. The new version is great! It features a new Online Radio Directory and AirTunes streaming to Airport Express devices.

New Online Directory

The new version features a complete new Online Radio Directory integrated right into the user interface of Snowtape. It replaces the old update feed method. It features a list of Top Stations rated after popularity, stations in your local area, stations filtered after genre and country and you can simply search for stations using keywords like "977". You can import stations to you local database and share them via email and twitter. Stations are now grouped to networks. This makes it much more clear and easier to find the right station. Plus there is a new small red flag on any station that is particularly great for recording. And it's much more dynamic. As new radio stations make it into the database they are available for you to listen to immediately. You don't have to wait any longer until we schedule an update. But the biggest plus is that you can add stations yourself and share it with others. No more waiting for us to update the database. All you need to have is a new Vemedio Account and a nickname. Having this set up adding your stations is a matter of minutes.

AirTunes Streaming

Snowtape now knows about the concept of remote speakers, like iTunes does. You can hook up your Airport Express and stream music from any radio station wirelessly within your local network. We also support password protected devices. No configuration is needed. The AirTunes devices are found and configured automatically. All you have to do is select one or multiple devices to stream to and optionally enter you password. And your done. Enjoying radio never was that much fun!

Snowtape is fully compatible with Snow Leopard and is available in English, French, German and partly in Japanese, Italian and Russian. You can find the complete list of changes in the release notes as usual. I hope you like it and make sure you update today! This can be done via the integrated update mechanism or directly from the Snowtape website.
