bj1 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I was wanting to know if anyone knows of a good radio recorder. I have seen the RadioSHARK but I don't want to spend $50 on it. I have seen some cheap one for the $10 - $15 range but they only record FM. I am looking for something that will be able to record AM as well. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of a program that can record on a timer, but I have always used Audacity (search at download.com) to record. Good luck in your search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Launch it with a batch file called by the windows version of cron ('at' I think). You can even use it to stream it to the web so you can listen at work. It has been a while, but I did it. It worked well, except that the batch file overwrote the media file each day when it started. I could have fixed that, but lost interest when they started streaming my favorite radio show. Hope this helps. BH Edited September 29, 2005 by Brian_Holiday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
