RadioSHARK arrives
p2pnet.net News:- Griffin says its $69 USB RadioSHARK adds AM/FM radio to any Mac or PC.
Not only but also, “it can record any AM or FM radio broadcast in real time.”
Does that look like …. like …. digital radio broadcasts that the RIAA hates and that can be copied and redistributed online OR saved as files that can played back whenever and wherever?
Yep.
RadioSHARK stations can be set with a mouse click and new stations can be scanned and tuned – and, it has Time-Shift.
This means users pause a live broadcast and return to it moments – or even hours – later and continue exactly where they left off.
“It’s a lot like a popular TV accessory whose name we can’t say, but rhymes with Steve-O,” says Griffin.
Although the site blurb says RadioSHARK is only good for aiff, a Griffin spokesman told p2pnet that’s incorrect: it’ll also handle aac (Advanced Audio Coding) and mp3.
This is one of those products that’s been rumoured but never seems to actually happen.
Is it for real this time?
“It’s shipping,” p2pn was told.
“How real can you get?”

This will be interesting. I wonder when we’ll hear from Jonathan Lamy?

It looks like a nice product, but its not digital and my tv tuner card has been able to record fm transmisions for a while now. I guess getting access to the am band would be nice if i knew of any am stations that were worth listening to.
