Icy Radio Freezes Radio Streams to MP3

We're big fans of Internet radio here at Switched, keeping our speakers pumping while we keep blogging all the day long. So, it's with a bit of trepidation that we bring you news from Download Squad on a new bit of software that, on one hand makes it easy to stream hundreds of those choice radio streams, but on the other might just help to bring down the industry by letting you quickly and easily record tunes.

We've reported before on how the RIAA has managed to push much higher fees through, going into effect in 2010 and potentially shutting down streaming of non-royalty-free music altogether. This increase in fees was partly due to a belief that people are recording and sharing tunes from Internet streams, and while Icy Radio isn't the first to make it possible, it does make it awfully easy. Download Squad gives the free, PC-only app high marks, but if you value the continued lifespan of Internet Radio as we do, please use responsibly. [From: Download Squad]
