Upgrading to v1.2 is FREE for all users.  Existing registration details, streams, and schedules are kept safe.

Note: If you are currently using versions 1.1 thru 1.16x, and you upgrade to versions 1.17 thru 1.2, you will no longer be able to run the older versions 1.1 thru 1.16x.  If you really need to use these older versions, delete the file "HOME/Library/Preferences/org.bitcartel.radiolover.plist", and enter your registration details again.

How To Upgrade

1. Remove the old version of the application by moving it to the Trash.
2. Install the new version by dragging the application icon to your hard disk.

System Requirements

- Mac OS X 10.2 or later

What's New

1.2 (v55) - 30 March 2004
Fixed a bug in dragging radio stations from iTunes where the radio station name was not captured

1.2 (v54) - 17 March 2004
- Added version checking

v1.2 - 8 March 2004
- Added option to auto-split recordings later than normal
- Added option to create a track number in MP3 tags
- Added zero padding of filename sequence numbers e.g. 001
- Improved speed of importing stations from iTunes radio tuner
- Fixed bug which caused recurring "Weekdays" schedules to not run properly on Mondays
- Incorporates latest version of libcurl 7.11

v1.19 BETA 5 - 9 October 2003
- Added support for non-ISO standard MPEG 2.5 streams (previously these resulted in files containing just the ID3 tag)
- Added options to scheduler - can now select "weekdays" and "weekends" recording
- Tested compatibility with Panther (pre-release build)
- Help files are now only available online
- Reduced file size

v1.19 BETA 4 - 7 August 2003
- Fixed a bug which caused RadioLover to crash sometimes, when opening the "tagging" drawer.

v1.19 BETA 3 - 2 August 2003
- Supports radio stream titles of style: "song" by "artist"
- Added support for IceCast 1.3.12 headers
- Main window now resizes automatically if it is not tall enough to display the contents of the drawer.
- Fixed bug where non ASCII characters in the radio station name prevented recording.
- Fixed minor bug in scheduler where the times are shown and added correctly.  No need to refresh the display by clicking another widget.
- Fixed minor bug in bitrate display.  The bitrate is based on actual mpeg data, but if the data is VBR, the stream bitrate is used instead.

v1.19 BETA 2 - 22 July 2003
- The previous beta introduced a bug which ignored track information.  Now fixed.

v1.19 BETA - 21 July 2003
- Added ID3v2 support (v2.4)
- Added language encoding option so localised stream titles and filenames are handled correctly (and saved in the ID3v2 tags)
- Added disk safety option to stop recording if the download volume has less than 100MB free.  This is enabled by default.  This option is recommended if a user is recording to the boot disk because of general OSX Jaguar system issues.  As reported in MacFixIt, applications can become unstable when there is less than 100MB free on the OSX boot volume.  This is something I have experienced myself with Mail and Safari crashing and corrupting the user preference files.

v1.18 - 12 July 2003
- Non-scheduled recordings are filed by date by default, unless there is track information.
