• StationRipper works fine on my Windows 2003, and now I also get a Mac. I tried many times to install StationRipper on my Mac, but I can not find a Mac version. Doesn't StationRipper have a Mac version?
• I try to use StationRipper to record some Pandora radios, but when I open StationRipper, it does not allow me to access anything. What should I do?
• I have clicked the Record button to record one online radio, but after a little longer, I still do not get any recorded radio. What is the problem?
• I get poor recorded radio quality and how I can get better quality from StationRipper?
