I know all about this kind of stuff ...... I do it every single day ..... probably 5 times a day. I do it for both sound and video. A few years ago, I used to utilize "TV Anywhere" software and I could watch CBC TV or listen to CBC Radio on my computer and record it, edit it and save it any way yuh want. Today, I don't watch TV on my computer anymore. I would go to the page "CBC Radio Live" http://www.cbc.ca/radio I would begin the audio stream .... from the menu at top center of screen. Then I would access my "Record" program and tell it to begin recording at a specified time, or whatever. Do you have a program that records what you hear on your computer? Does your computer have a headphone jack which you can use? You could utilize this but it is kind of complicated. If you got no problem paying for the software which I referenced earlier, then just buy it on-line someplace. http://www.faststone.org/FSCaptureDetail.htm That is the program which I use. But, if you are kinda cheap, no problem. Do a Google Search for "Sound Record" and there are probably a zillion of them out there in Mouse Land which are free. It is a piece of cake!

I think Trotsky's idea is the simplest of all. If you plug it into the wall you can even connect a digital timer to start recording at the time you wish and shut it off as well. |

Hi! Campy Lets say that he did what you suggested .... So, what is the person recording to? A tape deck? Maybe to a stand alone CD recorder? I thought he/she was trying to save it as an .mp3 sound file on his/her computer. That is how I save mine. Calm Edited by Calm, Dec 28 2016, 08:22 AM.

Calm: Old technology is making a comeback. The recording is being done to a cassette deck tape which is built into the unit. You just record and then rewind the tape and play it back. It's not rocket science. I showed an example of recording from a radio to a cassette deck tape. With Trotsky's link the tape deck is built into the unit. No MP3 needed. No computer needed. And the tape is reusable. Just rewind it and tape over it again. |

Well, I got an old ghetto blaster CD and cassette player with two tape (copy/record) capability. It has been a while, but I think the ghetto blaster will record CBC radio and save it to tape. I guess I could just buy a small plug-in timer for the wall power outlet. Set and time for when the current can leave the outlet to turn on your ghetto blaster. I was thinking computer.

O O, bet you're sorry you asked laugh123 . But there are a few devices that actually record radio programs similar to a PVR. Check out this one. http://www.forbes.com/2003/05/05/cx_ah_0505tentech.html |

Hi! DialTone That was a great interesting read which you referenced at Forbes. I enjoyed it. Edit: 5:05 pm EST Okay, I finished reading the article .... And that link you provided to Forbes is an article from May 05, 2003. What good is that? 15 years old. Calm Edited by Calm, Dec 28 2016, 11:06 AM.

I sort of hunt all day long for content which I can add to my own personal database (news aggregator) on a daily basis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_aggregator I use many tools and have tried many software programs. Not to say that I am out front and in close touch with technological advances. I use these tools simply because I know no other way. That is all. I am not recommending them. I am not saying they are the best, the worst, or the cheapest. Programs I use to grab audio-visual content in Mouse Land: I am not able to watch actual TV on this particular computer which I use. So, this is what I use to grab selections from Mouse Land only.

Calm. You haven't lived until you download a free program called Audacity. You can record and edit and save the recording as an MP3 file to a CD. I haven't investigated all the ins and outs but it's quite easy to use. |

Hi Calm, yes I know the article is a bit dated, but just saying there are gizmos, devices, and "things" out there that will do just about anything. Ain't technology great !! Here's one a bit more modern, even uses an SD card to record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIGO0PsjVvs Edited by Dialtone, Dec 28 2016, 11:53 AM.

Good grief, they are charging for Usenet now? I used to read a few of those newsgroups with Thunderbird and other newsreaders in the 90s. They were the forerunners of forums and completely free. Sorry to hear that has changed. |

This thread has drifted off into never never land. It's a simple concept. The question asked. Can I buy a radio that will record a station I like to listen to.? The answer. Yes you definitely can. |

Thank you all. I'll read through this tomorrow when my brain is more rested. I like the idea of a simple little radio like Old Salt and Trotsky showed. Even if I can't set it to record I could start it for example at 8.00 am and record until ll.00. I especially like Sunday programming but always miss it. |

Good for you Olive. Keep it as simple as possible. Check to see the length of recording available on the unit. Two hours or so should not be a problem. |
