More "Earily Adapters" will buy a PC Based "HD" Radio -IMHO- before they would buy an "HD" Radio for Home or Car. I'd rather have a stand-alone radio. The circuitry can be made better (in theory) and it's just more transportable. You can pick up the radio and carry it to the kitchen, the living room, the porch.... Can't do that with a computer, unless you have one of those laptops with REAL CHEESY tin-ear speakers. But then, radio tuner cards are pointless to me unless you make a habit of using the computer as a sort of "skimmer" or "logger" -- Steph If you need a PC, why not just stream the audio in the first place. I'm not a fan of toys that require a PC. The ability to hook one up is always nice (radio programming, GPS trail playback, etc), but the requirement to use a PC isn't good. Standards change, the OS changes, then you are left with junk if the manufacturer doesn't support the product. |
