Customer Rating:Summary: Completely unacceptable reception
Comment: I was hoping to use this for my favorite talk radio station at 570 AM. Reception was completely unacceptable while a battery operated radio in the same spot was completely acceptable. I will be posting a photo soon. It's too bad because if it had decent reception it would have been a nice product (though I didn't really get a change to use the software because it's going back right away).

Summary: Does the trick!
Comment: Considering it's no longer really ideal to go back to the old school mix tapes for your radio recording pleasures, this really does the trick. I've had no problems with my FM recording (don't need AM) and the software has worked perfectly. I did have a problem with the preset recording ONCE, but that was due to my computer's error, not the software, and not the shark. The RadioShark was actually recommended to me by a local radio DJ after I asked how I can get copies of his mixes since they're not offered on PodCasts. Now I can have the mixes I want whenever I want them. Best thing EVER!

Summary: AM reception is worthless
Comment: We wanted to record AM weekly programs on a very strong station. Every radio I've ever owned can pick up the station well - it's very strong and we are close to the tower. The RadioShark can barely pick it up and there is far too much static to be useful. It works reasonably well for FM, but it is absolutely useless for AM.

Summary: RadioShark2
Comment: I got the Radio shark when I had my old old computer. This was back when the itunes was just starting out. I wanted something to record my radio programs. I loved the Radio Shark. Now with itunes and the internet you can get most radio programs off the internet. The problem is that they the recordings come out a week later or a few days later. With the Radioshar2 I can record my talk radio that played at 6am and listen to it when I get up at 8am or listen to a weeks worth of radio on the weekend. Only issue I have had is that it has crashed several times. Griffin the company that makes this has sent me a fix that I had had to do several times. Only draw back but for me it is worth it just to get my programs recorded and put on my iphone or ipod.

Summary: Buy it!
Comment: I've been using the RadioShark2 connected to my Mac Mini running Leopard for over a month now. I really like having the ability to record audio off-air like a VCR. Haven't had the reception problems others have reported, though some AM reception issues may be due to interference from the computer it is connected to. I'd like to see some improvements to the Griffin software package, maybe preset buttons for different stations, as well as a connector for an external antenna. Overall, I like it and feel it is reasonably priced.
