DJ Gone Rogue Mac OS

Rogue Spear focuses on realism, planning, strategy and teamwork. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear was released for Microsoft Windows on August 31, 1999, with versions for the Mac OS (2000), Dreamcast (2000), PlayStation (2001), and Game Boy Advance (2002) released later.

Here are some handy-dandy ideas, though, on how to correct the problem if you suspect one’s gone rogue. If you quit the offending program, you can then look in Your Home. Power off your Mac. Power on your Mac and press and hold the option + command + P + R keys. Press all four keys all at once. Continue to hold the keys until the Mac restarts.

Known best for its array of audio editing and recording apps, Rogue Amoeba has added a new tool to its belt called Radioshift. With a tagline of 'radio on your schedule,' Radioshift brings the concept of time shifting to Internet radio, allowing you to search, browse, subscribe, record, and listen to your shows. Gone are the days of spreading yourself thin between RealAudio, Windows Media, and other Internet radio apps—Radioshift promises to be your one-stop shop.

Opening Radioshift for the first time presents a very Mac OS X and iLife-esque UI, with a Guide list on the left and a number of options in the main window for finding content to listen to:

This Radio Guide is one of the fundamental selling points of Radioshift, as it gives access to a list of 50,000+ (and growing) Internet radio shows around the world. Also, upon your first run of Radioshift, a Radioshift Helper process will get added to Mac OS X's arsenal of processes to keep running in the background. This will allow Radioshift to do things like record shows while the app isn't running, and even wake your Mac from sleep or start it up from scratch to catch the recording.

Back to Radioshift's UI: The search box, well, does a good job searching, and the Popular section helps new users get started with the wide world of Internet radio. The Favorites section at the bottom allows you to mark specific shows for easy access from this main display. Clicking the Genres button in the navigation bar up top, however, displays a few dozen categories of shows that are broken down into three main genres: Spoken, Music, and Sports. If you don't even know what to search for across the 50,000+ shows that Radioshift can access, this is likely the best place to start. In fact, when I spoke with Rogue Amoeba's Paul Kafasis about Radioshift's launch, he cited these Guide features at the top of his list of favorite things about this new app.

'When we first talked about Radioshift, we used the word revolutionary to describe it. We really do believe Radioshift will change the way a lot of people listen to radio,' Paul told Ars. 'For those that already stream content over the internet, Radioshift will simplify the process by ending the struggle with multiple media players (RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, etc.) and making it a snap to record. For many others, Radioshift will show just how much great content is available, and providing easy access to it.'

That said, let's roll on with what else has Paul so excited about his new internet radio recording app.

Exploring this browsing UI further, the World button in the navigation bar above Radioshift invokes a really slick map UI with green dots that mark shows across the planet. Clicking on one displays a list at the bottom of the window with shows in that area, which can then be filtered with the three main genres mentioned earlier, as well as by station, program, and now playing. This is a really cool way to visualize Internet radio across the globe, and I appreciate the attention to minor details such as the inertial slowdown when grabbing and flicking the map (like flicking a page or Google Map on the iPhone).

Upon finding a show you're interested in, controls are very straightforward. You can simply listen to the show (if it's playing, of course), Subscribe to the show to add it to your sidebar, and/or mark the show as a Favorite so it appears in Radioshift's main screen. If a show is provided in a media format for which you don't have the player installed, however, you'll be prompted to go get said player. This was a little bit of a letdown considering that Radioshift's product pages don't mention these extra steps, and anyone with a serious allergy to formats like RealAudio won't be able to avoid installing the company's software if they want to record these streams.

Users are able to customize some of a show's metadata to specify which days and times to record, add notes, and even specify extra recording time before and after an episode's listed runtime (note that I have two separate shows recording at the same time in this shot). Users can export a list of their favorite shows to share with other Radioshift users, and there are a handful of preferences for customizing some very useful options. Users can adjust the actual recording format, with the ability to specify an external audio editing app if you don't have any of Rogue Amoeba's editors installed. You can even tell your Mac to wake or power itself on to record a scheduled show. Actually recording a show, however, is where things got a little confusing.

Subscribing to shows that play at specific times works like a charm, as Radioshift just kicks into gear and does its thing well. If you want to immediately begin recording shows that are playing live, however, subscribing to the show will present the show info window you saw before. The only difference here is that new subscriptions to live shows are created with a two minute lead-in time, meaning that the recording won't begin for two minutes. This can be adjusted right away in that info window, but I don't quite understand the need for the pause before recording.

That said, recording works well, and Radioshift saves and organizes each episode for you to manage how you see fit. You can send completed episodes to iTunes if that's where you prefer to organize your media or if you need to have your shows on the go. Editing an episode is also a smooth operation, even though I selected the non-Rogue Amoeba app, Amadeus Pro, as my external audio editor. The one thing I couldn't test was Radioshift's ability to listen to and record AM/FM radio via Griffin Technology's radio SHARK 2 accessory, because I simply don't own one.

All things considered, Radioshift is a great 1.0 app that should bring smiles to those who already love or are just getting interested in Internet radio. Aside from a highly animated UI that can get in the way sometimes, and the need to install 3rd party media apps despite listening to and managing all of one's shows in Radioshift, I can see this app becoming a hit with its intended audience. A demo that degrades audio quality after 20 minutes is available, while a license costs $32 from Rogue Amoeba.
