This computer radio is pretty neat - the software allows you the ability to listen to AM/FM radio, record radio (helpful for talk radio) and record radio at a scheduled time. Downside is the AM reception - not always the best quality. from Amazon.com Easy to set up and use but the reception is weak by design. The antenna (Shark Fin) is not the ideal shape for an antenna. I knew that but bought it on clearance and gave it a shot. from Amazon.com This works great especially if you have XM or sirrus radio. With the RadioShark you can record countless amounts of commercial free music. from Amazon.com I've had my radioShark for over a year now and use it just about every day. Streaming internet radio drives me nuts when it pauses to re-buffer or the connection goes down. from Amazon.com The radioSHARK looks great, but its program was designed by middle schoolers. There are so many little things to piss you off when you use it - not just that it crashes, but that it really looks like they never finished it, and were just looking to throw something together in a few hours to test out the reception (which is OK, but certainly not great). from Amazon.com I sent the Radio Shark back because it is not yet ready for prime time. The first obvious thing to do, is to turn it into an ingenious, cheap parabolic antenna on a swivel mount. from Amazon.com I am running the RadioShark on a G4 PowerBook w/ Mac OS X 10.4. I am very happy with the programmed recording - saves to a variety of formats, etc. from Amazon.com This would be perfect if it could receive any radio stations. When I first bought this I lived in an apartment and got fairly good reception on several channels. from Amazon.com The most basic capability of this device is receiving radio signals, and in this area it gets just 1 star out of 5. In Seattle (Eastlake Ave, Lake Union area), I get just a couple FM stations, and 2 or 3 AM stations. from Amazon.com The RadioShark works great. It is incredibly sensitive to placement of the USB cable. from Amazon.com
