I was very satisfied with Tapin Radio until my problems arose recently. It’s 
a bit disconcerting that they aren't responding to their support inquiries 
from their web site for the past couple of months though.

Yeah sure! its free but all the ucking about that people seem to have to
do to get the thing working when there's stuff like Total Recorder just
sitting there waiting to be part of your software collection and again,
the software doesn't cost a Kings Ransom - even if you get the Video
Edition which I have -.

I haven't played with too many of the add-ons available though I've used
the speech add-on and its not too bad, again cheap at $32 I think it was.

The Editor in the Professional version does a pretty slick hob though
I've changed a few of the keyboard shortcuts to reflect my personal
tasts, changing shortcut keys isn't difficult either.

And finally, You're absolutely spot-on when you talk of the excellent
support from High Criteria, just go onto their web site and look at the
various tutorials and primers, not only on products from High Criteria
but on associated topics such as recording different types of audio etc.

The sluggish menu navigation seems to have been fixed, there was a delay
between the time you pressed a navigation key in the menu system and the
time the computer spoke, very annoying.

And yet - for those who like listening to radio on their computers as 
many of you do - this software could be so very useful.


I'm thinking now of the CBS radio streams at 
http://www.cbsradio.com/market they come up in a flash player screen 
but that's a pain in the bum as not all Screen Reading software has 
equal access to Flash content I've found, the only saving grace here is 
that - assuming everything is working correctly - the stream will start 
playing soon after the player link is clicked.


Tapin Radio could do away with the need to go to such annoying web sites 
in the first place and perhaps it does already, I've not had a chance to 
have a full and proper exploration of the software as yet but in all 
events, the last thing users of the software want is a product that 
doesn't work as advertised and developers of same who are non 
communicative when it comes to fixing annoying bugs or problems.


Yes, developers have the right to discontinue software but please let 
the consumers know, I don't think anyone would begrudge a developer 
particularly given the price of the software in this case.

that you can split files in realtime manually. I don't even think it
can be done with GoldWave. Split by time many programs supports, but
split manually is something to struggle to find. The skedular is easy
to use and I like the fact that each dialog that might pup up have a
copy and debug button so you can send them all the info they need. It
also have a system as whereby you can save bug info settings to a file
and stuff so you can send to tech support. There staff is really
helpful and with such kind of tools they can easyer help you solve
problems and you can actually get the help you need. I really think
people should try it before they give it up. If you install it with

The sluggish menu navigation seems to have been fixed, there was a delay
between the time you pressed a navigation key in the menu system and the
time the computer spoke, very annoying.
