I would love to listen to more of the CBC but their programming is not always at a convenient time. I know some of it is on internet but I would love to have a radio with a recording device.

If you happen to have an old cassette tape recorder hanging around it's easy to record from any radio withan earphone jack. Just plug the recorder into the earphone jack. Rewind and play the ttype back and its reuse able. You can also record to your computer. A bit more complicated though. I record sound tracks from You tube all the time.

You can then rent a TV box that has a PVR (personal video recorder)that can be set up to record particular channels at set times. The sound quality will likely be superior to what you receive over the air.

Then you choose "What You Hear Is What You Get" sort of like saying that any sound happening on my computer should be recorded. Obviously; if you are listening to it, then you can record it simultaneously. I record stuff all the time, but I use unusual software like Camtasia. http://discover.techsmith.com/camtasia-brand-desktop/?gclid=CJv-yLiik9ECFYkCaQod0ccCnw I think that a Plain Jane video program has a "Screen Recorder". Or maybe something like this. $19 bucks American. http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm Try it out and let me know. I will get yuh up and running if need be. It is very simple. If necessary, we could use my personal chatroom and live chat while you were going through the setup. Calm Edited by Calm, Dec 27 2016, 03:24 PM.

Handyman Extraordinaire Posts: 28,720 Group: no politics Member #204 Joined: February 2, 2006	Way too complicated guys. It's a simple setup. Remember now. Wanting to record the CBC radio broadcasts. So you tune in to the station with your existing radio if it has an earphone jack which practically all radios do. Then it's a male to male plug that goes into the earphone jack and the other end into the recorder. What could be simpler. Here's a picture of the setup. That one that Oldsalt shows looks good but I'm not sure how MP3 gets played back. Attached to this post: recorder.jpg (92.43 KB) Edited by campy, Dec 27 2016, 03:55 PM.

On all day long probably.

Is it necessary to set it up to pre record.? If necessary, then it's a simple matter to attach a timer to the radio if it's a plug into the wall radio which are a dime a dozen.

"I would love to listen to more of the CBC but their programming is not always at a convenient time." We need some clarification on this. Convenient time for listening instead of cooking or something? Does the setup you show pre record with a timer? What I am trying to avoid is something complicated.

Their online free archive lets you download past episodes to computers. https://cbchelp.cbc.ca/hc/en-us/articles/221433427-Where-can-I-find-the-CBC-apps-

Handyman Extraordinaire Posts: 28,720 Group: no politics Member #204 Joined: February 2, 2006	Yes. There is another option for computers and tablets. Download Tune in Radio. There you can listen to the CBC episodes up to 120 minutes and podcasts any time lasting 9 minutes for news etc. and any local streaming stations. As it happens, etc.
