radioSHARK
radioSHARK is a Mac/PC product for time shift recording of AM and FM radio. It requires a slick-lookin' shark fin shaped radio that hooks up to a USB port, and the companion software to set up time-based recording (as opposed to named-schedule recording).
The software looks usable and simple, and it saves to AIFF, AAC (Mac), or WAV (PC). For $70, this is an affordable, if niche, little tool. I use High Criteria's Total Recorder software to record streaming stations for RadioWave. It is powerful, inexpensive ($12), and they have a nice Primer on PC Audio on their site, along with information on where to get the popular Lame MP3 encoder (and, most importantly, a command-line interface). I really appreciate companies that offer reference information unrelated to purely selling their product. Listen up, companies: become the de facto clearing-house for your knowledge domain and you'll win over a lot of customers.
