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.

  1. RadioTime? by tbisaacs · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I work for http://www.radiotime.com/, we are working hard to bring "TiVo for radio" to fruition. We're flying low under the radar as we develop the service, but expect to "launch" in march.

    The RadioShark is a great piece of hardware but fails in the biggest area that makes TiVo great-the guide. What good is recording radio if you don't know what is on and where it's coming from. The heart of our service is our guide, it covers am/fm, internet, and xm/sirius radio, and soon will have full rss/podcasting support. To quote our website, we have "35,000 stations in 140 countries. 100,000 sports games per year."

    We have both mac and pc clients, though the mac client is still very early in development. Recordings are made as simple mp3 files, and even get dumped into itunes. The mac client supports the RadioShark, the pc version will very soon.

    We're always looking for great feedback to help us improve the service. Sign up is free for unlimited listening.
