Radio Recorder

I finished up my radio recorder today. Its primary purpose in life is to record four hours of WFNX radio content to a CompactFlash card, and so far it seems to work pretty well.

It's built off spare parts and various things I got off eBay. The concept is such that the radio (duct taped to the side) is fed to the line-in on the computer, where it's exported in WAV format (36KHz/16-bit) to a 2GB CompactFlash card that can later be played on my laptop. The entire thing is then connected to a light timer, which turns it on at 6AM and turns it off at 10AM.

For those interested, it runs DOS. I'll have more details soon.

Rev. Dr. Wu Yi, it's in my bedroom, to the side of an old table. I'll see if I can get a less-zoomed photo of it. (Unlike Antony, I don't have a separate bedroom and office, just a bedroom.)

That big thing next to your computer is your radio? I thought you want something small, and fit inside the PC.

Is all that stuff in your room or the basement?
