Is there a device i can use to record fm radio to an audio file?

Question

I attend an event every year comprising of around 8 hours worth of presentations which are broadcast simultaneously on FM radio. In the past I have recorded these using tapes (the old way!) but having to change tapes half way through an item isn't helpful and means bits get missed.

Is there a device that can receive the FM signal and record the audio directly to an audio file (e.g. mp3, wav etc)?

Answer 1

You can use one of the more recent MP4 players. This one will record from DAB or FM or internal mic or external line-in /microphone. And it all fits into your shirt pocket.

The trouble is that for 8 hours you are going to have to keep it plugged into a USB port because the battery may not last that long.

Answer 2

All you need is an FM radio with a headphone socket, connect this to the line in on your computer & use any free software you like to record it.

Answer 3

Yes, you can get a USB radio like this one that will let you save radio broadcasts.

>Recording directly to the computer would be a brilliant solution but I need a portable device! I cant trail my PC or laptop into a football stadium!

Ah, then you need one of these...
