First, I haven't been able to get Radioshift to successfully add a recording to iTunes. This means you could use iTunes sharing to listen to the shows on other computers. Radioshift does, apparently, have the ability to add recordings to your iTunes Library. If you don't care about skipping commercials, just use the Finder's built-in ability to play QuickTime files, as shown below. The bonus prize for doing this is that QuickTime Player allows you to fast forward during playback, to skip commercials, which is a feature that Radioshift currently lacks. Radioshift doesn't have any built-in support for sharing, but I can load the above-mentioned files into QuickTime Player (or similar) after mounting the server's drive. I want to listen to my recorded shows using another computer, because the home automation Mac is tucked away in a corner and I rarely use it directly. You'll find your recorded shows in the ~/Music/Radioshift/ folder. You can use the sound files directly, without opening Radioshift, too. This means that you don't have to leave the app running all of the time. I love that Radioshift uses a background process for recording shows that you've subscribed to. That's understandable, but it hasn't stopped me from tying to bend it to my will anyway. However, Radioshift isn't really optimized for use in a "server" situation. I think Radioshift would be a wonderful addition to my home, and I want to run it on the Mac that I already use for home automation. It makes automatically recording new episodes of a show, or "subscribing," as simple as TiVo does for television programs. If you haven't tried it yet, it allows you to easily listen to, and record, radio shows from around the world. So far, I'm pretty much enamored of Rogue Amoeba's new Radioshift application.
