USB Dongle Records Web, FM Radio

rah1420 writes "Gizmag just wrote about "Instant FM Music," a USB dongle that plugs into your computer's USB Port and records FM and Web Radio stations. You can record the playlist, tag the songs for easy playback, all without that nasty DRM." Nice and cheap, although who knows if the software is any good. That would be a neat device to see hacked for things like MythTV.

I'm glad I looked at your review, I was thinking of getting one, but probably won't.

However, I thought I'd comment on this:
"on the Mac systems you can record in AAC and AIFF. Why was this feature REMOVED from the PC version of the software?"

I think they probably offer these features utilizing Quicktime API's, so I doubt it was "removed" on the PC version, I think it was just a piece of cake to implement on the Mac, letting Quicktime do the actual transcoding, where they'd have actually had to program something to keep this feature on the PC version.
