Hi again all!

A couple of weeks ago I posted a message looking into recording MP3 from
the
radios and quite a few replies followed. Although I was looking for it
to
be "software based" that was too tough to find, especially since
copyright
and patent laws on MP3. It seemed I was still stuck in the same
situation
until I happened to recall a device that can be used to transfer audio
from
a cassette player, record player, etc. After looking through my digital

junkyard I found it. It's the ADS Tech Instant Music. Just feed the
audio
into the input and connect to the PC via a USB cable and used the
software
on the CD then you have instant radio recording in MP3. For those
interested in such a device, there are a few for sale on ebay, both new
and
used. What's also nice is you can record 2 radios using one channel for

each. Of course, this can also be done in WMA as well.

Why not use a Signalink and interface cables?

You can use a program called Audacity and then save it as a MP3 or what
ever format chokes your chicken..


Why not Mpeg4 (aac+ h264, etc.) if you are going proprietary? Does flac
happen in the pay to play computer universe? Can you route an audio in
to VLC? Does anybody use JACK?
