RadioShark for Windows and Mac OS X

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'm-coming-for-you-ira-glass dept.

Quantrell writes "Ars Technica has done a very thorough review of the AM/FM radio time-shifting device radioSHARK. I was surprised when I read it, because I thought it was Mac-only. Actually the device has good Windows support, and their review shows that some of the problems experienced by early adopters have been solved with recent updates to the product. That said, there are actually some considerable flaws with the product, so buyer beware." There's a lot more meat on this review than this story which was a lot more glowing of a review.

    I'm surprised RadioShack isn't suing them over the name.

    It shouldn't be long before the RIAA attorneys start swarming all over this product like angry yellow-jackets that are being squirt with a hose.

    One existed but sadly ClearChannel sent cyborgs back in time to kill the inventor.

    Is it just me, or is configuring ALSA a black art?

    Black art.. no

    It's more of a spiritual quest on the path to total enlightenment. Truly a study in the art of Zen.

    The trick is learning how to configure it for hardware that will not work with it. Think about it.
