Just downloaded and tried this, so far so good, excellent idea and a nice simple interface, and the video quality is very good.
I'd just love to have a way of importing a list of streams especially for radio, there are so many from the BBC and they're not in the defaults, I can add them as favorites but being able to import a big list would be a lot more practical.
This is a very nice radio widget, I was happy using RadioTuner before but Radiotastic has the advantage of being able to play all kinds of streams, not just Real Audio, so you can add any station and store them all together.
The other advantage is this allows you to record from the stream, but you do need to pay a shareware fee for that.
I should have added - I think the $15 shareware fee is worth paying, the recording feature is very neat, obviously the quality depends on your connection but the feature is nicely implemented. For me it's worth it to record special music shows and live sets or interviews on my favourite radio stations. You can also add any stream, even those in the BBC radio archive for instance, so you can record a single programme.
This is a joy to use. I've tried all other major bittorrent clients, and thought I was happy with Bits on Wheels, but this one is simpler, smaller, less CPU and memory-hungry (esp. compared to Azureus!), has a very nice interface and most importantly it does get better speeds for me without even having to set up port forwarding on the router. And it's ready from the get go, no complicated configurations.
It could do with the option to download only single files within torrents, but it has an option to stop seeding after a certain ratio (which BoW doesn't have), and even though it's simple it has neat view of all necessary statistics. Very nice job from the developers.
