TiVo For Radio?

Posted by timothy on from the annoying-ads dept.

An anonymous reader points out this Wired story that says "several electronics makers are releasing new products that promise to do for radio what the TiVo digital video recorder has done for television." (Products that might seem puny to serious time-shifting radio listeners, but cool to see them anyhow.)

  1. Similar product ($12 or $36) already available... by Mipmap · · Score: 5, Informative

    Before moving out of the lovely SF Bay area couple of years ago, I wanted to capture the local jazz station (KCSM) from my FM receiver to my PC.

    I found a product called Total Recorder (www.highcriteria.com) - which has a scheduling feature (so I could capture the Jazz Oasis every evening at 7pm).

    Besides recording anything that can be played on your computer, I also captured some Internet radio streams, such as www.live365.com, which were otherwise un-capturable. Nice to rip 11 hours of Internet radio to a CD and play it in the car.

    BTW - Radio Shack sells an RCA to stereo plug convertor for converting left/right audio plugs to a single line in port on your PC.

  2. Already done - Replay Radio. by jelwell · · Score: 4, Informative

    This is not the first time this type of application has been talked about on Slashdot.

    Anyways, this software already exists for intenet streaming radio broadcasts:
