Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about StreamWriter Studio.
How can I record radio on a Mac?
With StreamWriter Studio you add a station's stream URL and start recording. The app records internet radio automatically, detects individual tracks and files them tagged into your library – entirely in the background.
What is the best StreamWriter alternative for Mac?
StreamWriter Studio is the native macOS alternative to StreamWriter: automatic recording, track splitting, tagging with real album art, multiple stations at once and playlists – built for Apple Silicon and Intel.
Can I record individual songs from a radio stream?
Yes. StreamWriter Studio detects track boundaries from the stream metadata and saves each song as its own file – including artist, title and matching cover art.
How much does StreamWriter Studio cost – is there a subscription?
A one-time $49.99 (on sale, regularly $69.99) – no subscription, no monthly fees. The license is permanent (lifetime) for one device – either Mac or Windows.
Which system do I need (Mac & Windows)?
macOS 14.6 or newer (Apple Silicon or Intel) — or Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Your license key works on both.
Can I record several radio stations at the same time?
Yes. You can record as many stations in parallel as you like – each stream runs in its own tab and is captured independently.
Is it legal to record radio?
Recordings for purely private use (private copy) are permitted in many countries. Please observe the copyright rules of your country.
What audio quality can I expect?
It depends on the station – internet radio is usually streamed at 128 kbps, many stations also at 192, 256 or 320 kbps; StreamWriter Studio shows each station’s bitrate. In the settings you can choose between “Lossless” (a 1:1 recording in original quality) and “Standard” (space-saving MP3). The app can’t add quality the station doesn’t broadcast.
