... Coolest $20 Gadget I've Come Across In Some Time!

... I cannot receive decent FM radio reception in my office worth a damn, and the company doesn’t allow web streaming for obvious bandwidth reasons. But I enjoy listening to smooth jazz as I model or author work. Yeah, I literally have thousands of MP3s but even still, my playlists can get old. So what to do if you're in similar conditions as me?

Go order one of these Instant Music FM Radio Capture Devices from Best Buy for $19.99

Then go to one of many free online streaming High Definition Radio websites, rip songs and compile all your favorite latest tunes to your PC (overnight on your home PC). You can build & organize an impressive library in no time (obviously you can do the same if you're a Country & Western or Rock & Roll fan)

This gadget has some damn cool features for $20, quote:

- Builds MP3 music libraries from FM radio and Web radio
- Filters out commercials and talking
- Save individual songs to MP3 players or CD
- Automatically provides artist, song title, CD title and album art for each track
- Time-shifting capabilities allow you to record radio programming when you're away
- Plug-and-play design
- Compatible with PCs or Macs with USB port
- CD-ROM software, retractable
- FM antenna, USB cable and carrying case included

Here's a good list of online streaming HD radio stations to choose from:
