Infinite MonkeysRobb just e-mailed to ask me "So how does that Radio Shark work for you? Any regrets?" He's refering to the tivo-like device for radio from Griffin Technology.
I have to say I only have one regret: that I trusted those idiots over at Griffin. As you can see if you follow the link, you can "Pre-order now - shipping soon!"
So I did.
Last May. No, that's not right. What I mean is May 2003.
I didn't cancel the order because they raised the price during the wait, but every so often I'd e-mail Griffin to ask how things were going. They blamed Apple, and kept saying things like it was "in production," but they were finalizing the software. Apple has released many software updates since then, including at least two major releases.
So I've given up. I've decided to try this solution from the extraordinarily well-edited Macworld magazine. I'll let you know how it turns out.
The only delay now is selecting a good radio with a headphone out jack. If anyone has any recommendations, let me know. One that also has an alarm that can be set to different stations would be great too, but let's face it--I'm mainly going to record Hugh's show, and I may do that from the Internet feed.
Posted by David at September 23, 2004 12:16 PM | TrackBackI LOVE Audio Hijack. I use both the regular and the Pro version to capture Internet streams with some frequency. The reason I wanted the Shark (in addition to Hijack) was so I could capture radio without having to dial the knob myself – I wanted a more “Tivo-like” experience.
But if you've only got one channel to record, or you want to get it from a stream, then Hijack or Hijack Pro are your products.
