TiVo For Radio? 327
An anonymous reader points out this Wired story that says "several electronics makers are releasing new products that promise to do for radio what the TiVo digital video recorder has done for television." (Products that might seem puny to serious time-shifting radio listeners, but cool to see them anyhow.)

"If you had a friend who was interviewed on a news program and you sent him a copy of it, I think there's a pretty strong chance that would be considered fair use. On the other hand, if you taped all the top singles off the top 40 stations and sent it to all your friends that is more likely to be illegal."
Legality issues aside, I think that if I taped the "Top 40" and sent it to all my friends I'd find myself running out of friends very quickly...

Actually, it is a nice idea. I can't wait to actually listen to music on the way to/from work instead of some insipid talk show.

Maybe I am just dense, but if Stern has been canned from the airwaves in your region, forget time shifting, how would you record it in the first place?

Don't you mean skipping TO the commercials? Friends don't let friends listen to Top 40 music.

Wait, are you saying you have a radio station that plays 40 DIFFERENT songs??? Do you mean over a period of 5-10 years, or have you just not listened to the radio in the last decade?
