#Radioshark facebook software#

My guess is that it was the version 1.0 software that comes with the unit. That odd bubbling audio quality was still there no matter what I tried. I tried out a few different quality recording formats when I recorded The Howard Stern Show over a few days. That was the second major flaw that I found with the RadioShark. It happened on every station I tried so it wasn’t a station related issue. This seems to be an intermittent thing so I’m not sure where the real problem is. The feed sometimes sounds like it’s bubbling up from underwater or like the software is having trouble keeping up with the audio feed. There are some issues with the audio quality as well. That helped pull in a decent signal that I could record. It turns out you can plug a cable into the headphone jack to extend the antenna capabilities. It was just a matter of restarting the program but it was pretty annoying.Īfter having a hard time getting decent reception I visited Griffin Technology’s web site to find out if they had any suggestions. I’d make a change in the preferences and the program would crash.

I also ran into some problems with the software crashing. If I have to rush off to the bathroom or answer a phone, I want to know how far back I need to rewind. That’s a major flaw as far as I’m concerned.

The Mac software apparently has the clock. First of all, there is no clock in the Time Shift function in the Windows version so you have no idea how far back you can go or how much you’ve recorded. After playing with this thing for a while, I think that’s exactly what it was intended for. It would look good sitting next to a nice white iMac. The RadioShark looks cool with it’s white, shark-like shape and the glowing blue lights (which turn red when recording) on each side.

I had to reboot my system but the instruction manual didn’t mention anything about that.

Throw the installation CD in, load the program and then plug the RadioShark into a USB port. The RadioShark allows you to time shift the radio station you are listening to so you can pause or rewind to something you heard just seconds, or minutes earlier. The RadioShark comes close to being just that. What I’ve wanted for the past few years is something like a TiVo (or digital video recorder) for radio. Sometimes I miss something and need to rewind quickly but it was never that simple. I run a Howard Stern fan site and listen to every minute of his show, every morning. When I first read about this product it sounded like exactly what I needed. This is what I actually wrote and submitted to Sync magazine in late 2004. If they're twisting my words, perhaps they're twisting someone else's. Don't waste your four bucks paying for it. If you want to read the review in the magazine, stop by your favorite book store, pick up the Feb/Mar issue of Sync, turn to page 63, quickly read the rewritten review and put the magazine back on the rack.

If you want to read what I actually wrote and submitted as my review, just scroll down. I would never refer to Howard's show as ''raunchy.'' How about rewording it to say ''funny morning talk show'' you friggin idiots. Well, the magazine just hit the newsstands and guess what, they didn't even mention the name of my friggin web site! Not only that but they rewrote my review and used the term ''a raunchy morning talk show'' in place of ''a daily talk show'' which is what I actually wrote. The guy who asked me to write it said it would be good publicity for my web site. Yay! - Ziff Davis Plans to Close Sync Magazine - 11/19/05Ī couple of months ago I was asked to write a review of this piece of crap radioShark FM radio recorder for Sync magazine.
