The home screen (let’s just call it the Dashboard) is your central hub for radio, recordings and folders. You can choose from a huge list of radio stations divided by genres (Alternative, Rap, Hip Hop and so on), tap on one and start streaming, directly on your iPhone. Snowtape for iPhone allows you to listen to internet radio, record songs and keep them cached on your iPhone for future usage. It’s a pleasure to look at and, pay attention, it’s a joy to use. It’s powered by a dark, stylish design, crisp icons and buttons, gorgeous previews and sliders that will make every pixel fetishist out there happy to use it.
Snowtape for iPhone is one of the best looking apps currently available in the App Store. Being designed by Iconlicious, Marcelo and Emanuel put their seal quality on an iPhone app once again, creating a UI design that combines both native and highly custom elements and yet has a very consistent feeling throghout all the parts you’ll end up tapping on. Here we are folks, talking about one of the most beautiful and useful music applications for iPhone to date. But wait, I’ve got an email from Vemedio telling me Snowtape for iPhone is out. Checking out didn’t help, nothing was apparently new. I woke up this morning with the feeling something good was about to happen. I’m sad, upset, I wanna talk about the app. I get accepted into the beta testing group. I remember there’s this music app I have to test. Sporting a slick, dark, interface, Snowtape is like an iTunes for your iRadio, helping you browse through thousands of stations and even import your own.”įast forward 2 months. From the review: “Snowtape is an internet radio player for the Mac, a one-of-a-kind app that looks good as it blasts your tunes.
SNOWTAPE SERIAL FOR MAC OS X
Well, there was this application for Mac OS X I never really consider until my friend Zak Soup reviewed it here on MacStories, which looked so sexy and useful - Snowtape. Jesus, wish I had it when I was 10 (damn new boys).īack to our business, we’re talking about internet radios. It lets you listen to music under a simple 3G connection, all the music you want. I mean, the Spotify iPhone app is the thing you want to bring with you on the Lost island. I upgraded to a Premium account to avoid ads and use the iPhone app, which has been one of the best things of summer ‘09 (yeah, together with that goat we stole and put in my car, but that’s another story). Man that was the future of music, a mix between internet radio and iTunes. So I signed up for an account, downloaded the Mac client, enjoyed the freedom of having an immense music catalogue legally available for high quality streaming. I remember last year I stumbled upon a promising new service called Spotify which, though it wasn’t officially available in Italy, looked too much interesting to not give it a proper spin. But like I said, I’ve never had that great of a relationship with internet radios. As many other things in this country, internet isn’t really seen as an opportunity to bring innovation and better quality to old media and traditions, and so internet radios are slow, unreliable and stuck to mid 90’s standards. I’ve never had that great of a relationship with internet radios, mostly because the Italian ones suck.
