I use Radio-Time Red Button to record my favorite radio shows (both live local radio broadcasts and internet radio streams) overnight while I sleep. Radio-Time automatically adds the recorded mp3 files to iTunes which I later synch with my iPod. It takes about a minute each morning to synch my iPod with the radio programs from the night before!
I've owned and used Creative Products like Jukebox Zen and Portable Media Center and I refuse to buy anymore since Creative Medias "End of Product Life" (= no service/support) in 18 months is bull crap. Like the Jukebox Zen ..... will not 'Synch" with the latest and future Windows Media Players, you have to drag and drop everything one at a time. The Portable Media Player will not work with future Windows Media Player's .... so much for "Plays for Sure". Apple always includes iPod firmware upgrades with the iTunes updates. I have a Generation 3 and a Generation 4 iPod and both have had firmware upgrades via iTunes. jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Hawkins<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Shortwave programming discussion<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [Swprograms] OT: my wish list for an iPOD-like device For what it's worth, my view is get more or less anything except an Apple I-pod. I have an Apple I-pod and it's a super device for keeping a library of music on but much less flexable for radio programme listening. My listening on the train tends to be via a Creative Zen Nano. This works like a memory stick so adding and deleting material is easy. It will also record (at limited bit rates). This and Screamer Radio http://www.screamer-radio.com/<http://www.screamer-radio.com/> to capture MP3 streams might meet your requirements. Now what I would really like is a deviece I will call the "car-pod". This would connect by WiFi into my network at home when my car is parked and fill up with material to listen to while driving automatically (like podcasts). It would connect to my car stereo as a CD changer and be managed through a web browser. All I need is for someone to sell one !
