Another useful “widget” from Griffin Technology, iFill $19.99, is released. iFill records MP3 streams from the thousands of free Internet radio stations available directly to your iPod. You can choose several stations at once and select from many different genres. Maybe another reason along with your favorite podcasts, to not pay for a satellite radio subscription or use a pay-for music subscription service.

iFill may be a great fit for your “Digital Lifestyle” as I have found it for mine. With iFill, you can go to bed while charging your iPod, and wake up to an iPod full of new music, ready for your commute. This is a great way to get new music or your old favorites and listen to them on your iPod whenever you want. I will “iFill-er-up” while I work at my desk for the commute. iFill also allows you to listen to the stations while records or play what it has put on your iPod.

Choose Internet radio stations

Recording Streams

Using iFill is easy. Just open iFill, select your Internet radio stations (you can select more than one!), click record, and music starts streaming and recording directly to your iPod. Eject the iPod and there will be an iFill playlist on your iPod with all the songs you recorded listed by song, artist, and station! iFill allows you to see what songs you have added to your iPod. Since iFill parses the stream from your favorite Internet radio stations into separate tracks with song and artist names, skipping through them is a breeze and any small talk or ads are usually gone.

iFill is designed for easy use, and includes features specifically designed to help you in your enjoyment of streaming webcasts. Many online radio stations send song information that’s not exactly in sync with the audio. iFill provides an intuitive graphical editor that allows you to correct the syncing.

iFill Station Window

Tip: If a station you want is not listed just Option + mouse click on “+” sign when adding station.
