    Hi, I had a quick look at posts already but could not see anything that would suit what I am looking for. The company i work for is a media company and occasionaly certain radio shows would attract their interest. I have volunteered my services into researching some hardware solutions that would enable me to record the shows and then perhaps allow me to save the files onto some sort of memory card so I can share the files throughout the company, via netowkr drive or simple bringing the card to their PC's

    Does anyone know of such a device? I would rather a hardware solution as sometimes the online streaming can become unrealiable. i woudl be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions. :D

    Dave.

    There are some mp3 players with fm radio that allow you to make a timed recording from the fm station of your choice. Off the top of my head I know that some of the Cowon players have this feature but if you search the net I'm sure you will find some other cheaper brand with the same feature.

    Thanks for everyones help. I did what MP suggested and used a set of headphones and recorded what went into the mic. However audiocity would not find the mic jack input so instead used the software 'audio Recorder for free' and this worked perfectly.

    Delighted with the results and once again thanks for any inputs you had, I appreciate it. Also saved the company a few squid too :D
