I need a Tivo for radio

[dougo]

Last night after lying in bed for an hour and a half not being able to fall asleep, I turned on the radio. It was 3am, just in time for a program on WERS called "Psychedelic Mischief". The playlist was all '60s and early '70s psychedelia, some underground (but well-known today in the right circles) stuff like Gandalf, KaK, The Third Bardo, and some mainstream stuff like Jethro Tull, Blind Faith, Cream. I turned it off after an hour because otherwise I'd have been up all night. How come these programs are never on when I'm in the car scanning the dial for good music?

Conveniently, someone just came out with a Tivo for radio, so I hear.

I wonder what sort of reception it gets. (Whatever happened to cable radio? Or was that just a west coast thing?) Anyway, it seems kind of ridiculous to record from the airwaves when I could probably just search out the mp3s of whatever they're playing. Or record the webcast streams, although those are still so low-quality as to not be worth the bother.

I've been wishing for a radio TiVo for ages, and gblake has pointed me at that product before, but I think it wasn't Windows-compatible. Apparently, it is now.
