Instant Recording. Instantly Record the program you are listenting to, it's as simple as one-click. Hit the record button while listening to your favorite station and recording starts instantly. Snowtape is able to cut the recordings at audio track boundaries automatically. Snowtape can identify potential commercials or interludes. With the built-in track editor you can cut out any interfering audio you do not wish to be exported.
1-Click Export to iTunes. Simply click the "Export to iTunes" button and the audio track is encoded to high quality AAC audio and saved right into your iTunes library. Album artwork and track titles are automatically exported as iTunes Audio Tags and get incorporated directly into the audio track during export.
Import Internet Playlists. Snowtape can import .PLS and .M3U internet playlist files as well as .Webloc URL files. Simply drop your files onto the radio list or choose "Import Files" from the application menu. You can also provide Snowtape playlist or stream URLs. Snowtape checks every URL and only imports those that work.
Drag & Drop iTunes Radio. As a bonus, Snowtape also understands items coming directly from iTunes. This means you can easily import a radio station onto Snowtape by clicking and dragging from the iTunes list. It works with any radio station you previously imported to iTunes as well as with the complete iTunes radio catalogue.
Get Album Artwork. Snowtape partners with Last.fm to give you the bonus of album artwork and additional album metadata. In most cases, Snowtape can download this information automatically for you. Alternatively, a "Get Album Info" button searches and adds any album info and cover artwork available.

First AirPlay is crap and when you use more then one speaker you get a delay between them.
Second Snowtape writes cache files (or something else) to the startup volume and after a while it filled up to 160GB and Lion stopped working because the was no free space at all. After closing Snowtape from the Activity Monitor it releases it.
I don't know why but I now have the problem that I cannot use my Snowtape library any longer. Everytime I open Snowtape it says that the file rights are wrong and the user has no access but I can access and write in Finder. So my current library is unusable :(
I tried to contact the support but they never replied to one of my mails for weeks!!! So it seems that I have to look for an other software. So think twice before you buy Snowtape!

There are however a few things that could be improved:
1- Add for Right-Click in the Directory. My reflex is to right-click on the radio I want, instead of aiming and clicking on the tiny down-arrow symbol for the local menu.
2- "Import as favorite", "Import Station"… The wording is confusing, it should be "Set as Favorite" and "Add a Station". "Import" is an unnecessarily technical term for regular users. Why "import"? Especially for the Favorites, you are not importing anything, the station is already there in the Directory.
Feature request: I would LOVE to pause and rewind the current station at any time, without the advanced planning required to record it.
The need for this is obvious: Sometimes, I missed something and I want to hear it again, like the music title that was announced before when I was not paying attention..
Or… I like that music that is already playing, but I missed the beginning and I want to record it all. So recording should be possible from the real-time buffer.

Send them an email about it. I'm sure with enough people requesting it, they might actually implement it.

In my view, it is very "Mac like" and easy to use. The GUI is very pleasing to the eye.
Snowtape does a GREAT job at recording music and does a decent job at figuring out where each song starts and ends.
Since NO Internet recording software does a fantastic job, you must manually edit the track boundaries so the songs start and end at the right spots. This is where Snowtape REALLY FALLS SHORT. Snowtape REGULARLY Freezes and Crashes when editing more than a couple of songs. Sometimes Snowtape will UNFREEZE and come back to life after waiting 4 or 5 minutes. Sometimes it just crashes!!
Worst of all you will LOOSE all of our previous edits when Snowtape crashes. Until these bugs are fixed, I recommend that you QUIT and START UP Snowtape after editing 4 or 5 songs. That way, you will only loose 4 or 5 songs when Snowtape crashes (and believe me it will!!)
The Get ALbum Artwork feature is great when Snowtape cannot figure out which artwork to use. But it stopped working for me. It no longer shows any artwork (even when searching for the "Beatles").
I have been dragging and dropping artwork form Amazon instead but there is a small bug there too. When you drag and drop artwork, the thumbnail is NOT updated. You must switch to another playlist and switch back to see the artwork in the thumbnails.
With all the bugs, FREEZES and CRASHES, I can NOT recommend Snowtape at this time until these problems are fixed.
P.S. I did a fresh install on Snowtape on another Mac running Snow Leopard and the same bugs, CRASHES and FREEZES occur.
Pity. I really like the GUI and features of Snowtape. I just wished it worked better.

However since I upgraded the Airport speaker connection is choppy and has dropouts. It's not happening in 1.x or iTunes.

SnowRemote is no longer listed as product on the Vemedio website, the description for SnowTape 2 only mentions the use of the (infrared) Apple Remote, and the support form does not list the latest build of SnowRemote. However, the functionality is still there. Strange.
