USB Stick Receives, Records Radio


Still listen to the radio? No, neither do we. We made a playlist of the hits of the 70s, 80s and 90s and it’s exactly the same as every commercial FM station, minus the ads. And we don’t even listen to that.

If you live in Britain, though, you get BBC radio, and you may be interested in Logitech’s lovely looking, minimal USB Radio Tuner. The dongle contains an AM and FM receiver and an FM antenna (an external antenna is needed for AM, and an adapter is available to hook it up to a proper FM aerial) and the whole lot is powered from the USB bus.

The software is where the magic happens. Available for Mac and PC, the applications will allow you to schedule and record shows, automatically splitting tracks and adding them to iTunes, from where they will magically appear on your iPod. Think of it as a TiVo for the radio.

The price is still under wraps, but the dongle goes on sale at the beginning of December. The black one is for Windows machines, and the white is for Macs, or, as the charming translation comes from the original Japanese via Google, “Mr. McDonald”.
