What are broadcasters saying about PlayIt Recorder?

I've used this software for years. I love it because it's so easy to use. I also love the things it can do. Mainly, once you exit the programme it remains on the machine minimised. This is extremely helpful, as I've needed to use it at the last minute and it's been there ready to use. I've told everyone about this software, and I know for sure at least 20 or more colleagues have downloaded it and use it for their shows or podcasts.

Simple, reliable. We use a simple implementation of PiR as our station logger. It was set up once and has been reliably recording now for three years or so.
September 2025
It's a really solidly built application! It accomplishes everything I need and is very intuitive to set up. I also like that I can run an Icecast server utilizing the same input, and recording doesn't interfere with the live stream.
March 2020
I like that it is easy to set up, can break recordings down by hour, and can name each file based on which show it relates to, making it easier for announcers to pull recordings from the logger and do their own airchecks.
October 2018
I like the ability to schedule a recording. We broadcast a football game every Friday, and this makes it easy for us to record the game each week, and upload the MP3 to our Dropbox account automatically.
September 2014
I like that it has detailed scheduling and the ability to title the recordings and have the files match the multi-hour durations of different programs.
January 2025
I was surprised about how easy it was to set up and use to record whatever was already going out to my speakers or headset. In the past, I would use Audacity for such things and would have to mess around with complicated settings to make it record my existing outputs.
September 2024
I like the fact that I can specifically record the time I want and not the entire day. This helps in reducing the amount of storage I have to worry about.
October 2025
It's easy to set up and programme it for the shows I want to record.
September 2026
I love that it's possible to set bleed time, our shows often start a minute or two before or after the schedule. I also like that it's easy to set up, and the calendar function works great.
March 2015
Reliable. Low CPU resource use. Retains a time window of files and prunes old files automatically. It's free.
November 2025
I like the ability to schedule and record specific hours.
