I'm a diehard Apple fan boy and am considering getting an iPhone, however, I've read some articles on the internet, including Slashdot, indicating that the iPhone is a great mobile computer but not a great phone. I've always used a Motorola mobile phone and they are great phones with very...

Can iTunes capture a list of artists and song title/album from a radio stream? The reason I'm asking is that this can be a pretty efficient way to scan through a list of music from one of my favorite streaming radio stations (SmoothJazz.com - The Global Home for the Smoothest Jazz 24/7 - Live...
