The USB-R100 was a USB controlled radio tuner with an audio output that plugged into your computers audio in. There was a nice command line program that would simply tune to whatever frequency you input. My roommate at the time used one to stream radio to his office which was two or three floors underground. Not having a radio reception problem myself, I had an elaborate set of cron jobs and related workflows that would record various radio programs on multiple channels, create mp3s, drop them in a directory, and sync to my mp3 player. Laster the synced directory was replaced with a RSS feed that turned the recordings into podcasts. Eventually everything I wanted to listen to had a podcast. The D-Link USB-R100 is tucked away with all the other obsolete but this could be useful some day maybe gear now. -- Andrew Zbikowski http://andy.zibnet.us/ The Evil League of Evil is watching so beware. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
