You are probably sitting next to it! Add a big disk and Goldwave (or
similar) to your PC and with a decent sound card and your (hopefully still
FM) tuner conected to the back you will never miss a single program again.

All I need to do is teach my PC what I like on radio and get Digiguide to
tell Goldwave to start and stop recording......

Thanks for the suggestion.

The PCs I have access to (which belong to my employer) are both
laptops - one running Windows (for Outlook, Office and some embedded
development tools) and this one, which I mostly use at home, running
Linux. Neither has an analogue stage that is up to Hi-FI standards or
even an accessible line input. They are also far too noisy to run when
listening to music.

This has prompted me to think about building a small embedded system
to convert S/PDIF to and from, for example, an FTP data stream for
sending over Ethernet to a server not in the listening room. Has
anyone tried this or does such a device already exist (at a reasonable
price)?
