Product Description

The RadioSHARK adds a software controlled AM-FM radio any PC or Macintosh computer -- and that's only the beginning! The RadioSHARK records AM & FM broadcasts. Record a scheduled show or use Time-Shift Recording to "pause" live radio, so you can return to right where you left off moments, even hours later.

Amazon.com Review

There's a lot to like about Internet radio, but sometimes you just want to catch the local NPR broadcast or listen to the ballgame without searching for a streaming audio feed. Griffin satisfies this urge with its RadioShark, an AM/FM desktop radio that plugs into your computer's USB port to broadcast the full spectrum of local radio. More impressively, the device also acts as a radio version of a digital video recorder, employing a technology called Time-Shift Recording to pause and rewind live radio (think TiVo). Time-Shift Recording lets a user pause a live interview, leave the desk for 15 minutes, and then return without missing a second of conversation. In addition, the RadioShark records radio in real time with the push of a button or records favorite programs via the VCR-like scheduling window. Griffin touts the device as a great way to take control of how and when you listen to the radio. And we agree for the most part, but with a major caveat.

The software interface includes frequency and volume sliders, along with band, seek, and record buttons.
Design and Setup
The slick-looking RadioShark is shaped like (surprise!) a shark fin, with a white plastic exterior that looks perfectly at home amidst a desktop full of Apple peripherals, including the ubiquitous iPod. This makes sense given Griffin's reputation as a manufacturer of Apple accessories. Installation is quick and easy thanks to the included CD-ROM, which comes with software installers for both Mac and PC. Users will need to be running OS X 10.2.8 or higher or Windows XP to operate the software, however. Once it's up and running, users can easily reposition the device to improve radio reception and recording quality, though we didn't have any problem picking up the signals in our notoriously reception-poor region. Listeners can also add an external antenna to the rear jack should reception prove spotty.

Features and Performance
Listening to the radio with the RadioShark is as simple as flipping a switch. The basic yet intuitive software interface includes frequency and volume sliders, along with band, seek, and record buttons. It takes but a fraction of a second to change stations, and the signal responds immediately. The audio quality isn't terrific, but it's just fine given the circumstances (FM radio through computer speakers). Recording is also quite easy, whether it's for five seconds or five hours. Once you turn it off, the files save conveniently as either AIFF or AAC files (Mac) or WAV files (PC) in your computer's designated music directory, where you can listen to them later or export them to other applications. Alternately, Mac users can choose to import their recordings directly into iTunes for added convenience. This is particularly cool for iPod users, who can record songs or programs from the RadioShark and then listen to them later while on the move.

The Time-Shift feature, which offers a continuous 30-minute recording loop, is also quite convenient. Should you pause or rewind a segment, you can easily rejoin the live broadcast by clicking the fast forward button. The RadioShark also continues to record the live broadcast while you're checking out the archived footage, ensuring that you don't miss a second. And should you want to permanently record a Time-Shifted song or program, you can just hit record and it's done. A couple of other convenient features include an equalizer with several preset settings and an easy-to-follow scheduling window for upcoming recordings. Listeners can even set the RadioShark to record hourly, daily, or weekly programs.

Unfortunately, thanks to a few serious hiccups, these scheduled recordings may never come to pass. Specifically, if you let your computer drift off to sleep, the RadioShark responds by disconnecting from the software. The only way to sync it back up is to unplug the Shark and start again, but in the process, listeners lose all their scheduling information. This problem appears persistent in both Macs and PCs, though Griffin's web site says Windows users shouldn't experience the problem. Griffin recommends disabling the sleep preference as a solution, but that's inconvenient for a number of reasons. As an alternative, users can reconnect the device each time it fizzles, but that's also a pain and makes the scheduling window virtually obsolete. Until Griffin releases an update, the sleep issue will remain a major drawback.

We also experienced a few skips while using the Time-Shift feature. These weren't standard static interruptions, but sounded more like sporadic CD skips--sometimes several to a song. This wouldn't be a big deal when listening to conversational radio such as NPR, but if you're trying to record music, it could be a real drag.

But it's the sleep issue that really prevents us from giving the RadioShark an enthusiastic recommendation. Should the recording problems steer listeners away from the RadioShark? Not necessarily, unless scheduled recording is the main reason you're drawn to the machine. The radio and Time-Shift features are still pretty cool, and the RadioShark offers one of the easiest ways to record live radio into digital formats. But it does put a damper on an otherwise great product. --Rivers Janssen

4 out of 5 stars Great item for the price........2007-09-07

I got the radio shark to replace my stereo that died. It not only does that but adds a radio recorder to my tools. I can save audio recordings directly to iTunes. There is updated software that enhances the radio shark experience, but it also leaves out one or two features from the old software version I thought should be carried on to the new.

Dislikes are it is not the best on reception, but local stations come in very clear. Wish it had a way to connect to an external antenna. This would help in boosting the reception part.

Overall a good buy and a cool way to have what the old macs had. One more point is that it is stated on the package it is for 400mhz G3 macs, but is recommended for G4s and up. I have a 700mhz G3 and it seems to work just fine on it.

5 out of 5 stars I Love This Thing!.......2007-06-27

It does what it says! I can record my favorite talk shows and listen to them when I want. The player could be a little nicer but it works fine. I get pretty good reception after I played with the placement of the antenna a little bit. If it's too close to the speakers and monitor, it would pick up noise. It is the best investment I have made for my pc in a long time!

1 out of 5 stars Find another FM tuner for your Mac or PC.......2007-05-26

This was probably the worst investment I've made for my computers ever. The signal is weak, and if you're more than one wall indoors, forget about getting anything worthwhile. Unless you try one of the many hacks for increasing the power to this device or have an external power supply/antenna for it, you won't catch too many radio stations.

My advice: Stay Away from this product. There's a reason why it disappeared from store shelves so quickly.

2 out of 5 stars Great concept.......poor software and reception.......2007-05-14

I bought this to record lectures that were broadcast over an in-house fm signal. I've done this before with a portable mp3 recorder and had fine results but thought I could set this up to do it automatically and have the files saved on my computer. I was disappointed that the recordings I made with the radioshark had static in them so the reception must be very weak. Also the software left alot to be desired. I ended up returning this product and went back to setting up my mp3 fm/recorder manually to do the job.

5 out of 5 stars Love it.......2007-05-08

Radio Shark is dead easy to set up and works every bit as good as advertised. True, you need to keep your computer on during the broadcasts, but I have no problem with that considering the superior functionality.

Product Description

The SL-SW660V SHOCKWAVE portable CD player with FM/AM digital synthesizer tuner is a great companion on the go. Like all other SHOCKWAVE CD players, it is ultra-tough and has a compact, water-resistant design. It is equipped with a one-touch lock & release system, which is designed to keep the top cover of the player firmly attached, even under rugged conditions. The CD player can be used outdoors because of a heat-resistant, polycarbonate body design.SHOCKWAVE portable CD players have been designed to virtually eliminate CD skipping under normal listening conditions, and the 48-second backup memory provides further assurance of a near perfect, skip-fee listening experience. SHOCKWAVE portable CD players feature Power Last function, which makes two standard AA batteries last exceptionally long. However, there are also other ways to operate these portable CD players. But no matter what power source you use, the auto-power off function shuts off your player once your CD ends. You can enjoy listening to CDs that you make, since these portable CD players enable playback of CD-R and CD-RW discs. A digital radio tuner makes it easy to pinpoint radio stations for the most accurate reception. You also get 30-station preset memory convenience for instant access to your favorite stations at the push of a button. The SL-SW660V comes with headphones that clip on to your ears without a headband. This means that they're light, easy to fold, and won't mess up your hair. You can program SHOCKWAVE CD players to play a CD at random, in a specified order, or to repeat one song or the whole disc, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes in any order. S-XBS gives your music an added bass boost for fuller sound. By pressing a button inside the SL-SW660V, your CD will pop-up so it can easily be removed.

5 out of 5 stars Best Cd Player Out There.......2002-12-24

This cd player works great i got it for xmas. its great.

1 out of 5 stars Not worth the package it comes in.......2002-06-22

I've had good luck with older Shockwave models so I dont know what happened with this disaster. I use the shockwaves because I run while listening to CDs. The older models (sw860) worked fine unless I dropped them a few times. THIS model does not work at all while running. This CD unit is so intolerant to motion, it actually shut off after skipping endlessly while I was running. The anti-skip system is automatically activated, according to the instructions, so it wasnt my error. It works fine if Im still... [...].

The headphones also sound lousy and the radios tuning mode is very non-intuitive. What a mess. Where did Panasonic go wrong?

    1 out of 5 stars Do not buy a northwestern bell phone.......2003-07-19

    I had my last phone for 40 years and due to remodling I purchased a NWB phone and it lasted 5 months. You can't get through to their help line most of the time and twice I left my phone number to receive a call back and received none. They do not answer their e-mail either. These pnones are junk. BEWARE!

    3 out of 5 stars Can't see the time in the dark!.......2003-03-01

    Phone looks good and works well, but one major feature is missing! There is no backlit display! You can't see the time or the caller ID in the dark. I'm sending it back.

    2 out of 5 stars There's no light in the display! a big negative.......2002-11-18

    It does pretty much everything that I was looking for Except!
    The display is not easily visible, there is no backlight, so in dim light or at night you can't see who is calling or any of the time data.
    Also, maybe I haven't found the right button, but it doesn't seem to hand up after a call unless you replace the phone in the cradle.
    They should make a cordless version & light the display.

    3 out of 5 stars Clock light needed........2002-10-19

    Phone, radio, caller ID, and clock work very well and is very attractive. My wife is very pleased with the design, however, we miss the lighted clock which our previous like-item had. It sits on our night stand next to our bed and a lighted clock is very important to us. To solve this problem I will have to buy a separate lighted clock for the bedroom. Since we have had the item for only 3 days I don't feel qualified to rate it hight than a 3 at this time. Any comment regarding this matter? Regards - CEP

                Product Description

                Samsung's best 8mm camcorder - the SCM-51 offers an impressive array of features and conveniences in a compact, remarkably light and user-friendly design. Features include 22x optical zoom/440x digital zoom, black and white viewfinder, digital effects and excellent low-light capability. Built-in wide-angle lens allows an exceptionally wide view in tight areas, while the Wide Macro mode allows extreme close up recording. Digital image stabilization system eliminates unwanted picture shake while recording. With an excellent low-light capability, the SCM-51 can record nearly without light. Built-in features digitally process the video signal for a more stable picture. This ensures better playback for viewing or copying.

                Amazon.com Product Description

                Despite its low price, the Samsung SCM-51 camcorder has a surprisingly extensive set of features. It has 440x (22x optical) variable-speed digital power zoom, manual focus controls, 0.3 lux minimum visible illumination for excellent low-light sensitivity, and a built-in wide-angle lens, allowing an exceptionally wide view in tight areas (especially useful for indoor recordings). Macro mode allows extreme close-up recordings all the way down to 0.04 inches. A six-mode program auto exposure button adjusts camera settings for optimum results in a variety of situations: sports, portrait, spotlight, sand/snow, high speed shutter, and auto. The camera also has digital special effects, including mosaic, mirror, negative, emboss, cinema, and makeup.

                For the highest-quality images, Samsung has employed digital signal processing, time base correction, and a flying erase head. The camera uses standard 8mm cassettes.

                The 90-degree multiangle viewfinder rotates from horizontal to fully vertical, allowing low-angle shooting, and a diopter adjustment is provided for eyeglass wearers. When you're filming, a "record review" feature helps with continuity, showing you the last three seconds of the scene you just shot.

                The SCM-51 also boasts a built-in preset titler, date/time recording, battery/zoom readouts in viewfinder, and an auto refresh function on the charger that helps maintain the battery in peak condition. It comes with a worldwide AC adapter (100 to 240 volts, 50/60 Hz) and an extended-life lithium-ion battery for three hours of standard recording.

                With this camera, you won't get some higher-end features: the viewfinder is monochrome instead of color and there's no flip-out viewscreen. Audio is recorded in hi-fi mono (some camcorders record in stereo), and there's no image stabilization. If these aren't features you're likely to miss, or you're looking for a great starter camera, the SCM-51 is a real bargain.

                5 out of 5 stars Great Camera.......2004-06-21

                I've been using this camera for one and a half years now and works great. Easy to use and with a lot of features. I specially love the widescreen and sepia modes.

                4 out of 5 stars Excellent Low Cost Camcorder.......2001-04-04

                After being disgusted by how expensive digital camcorders are, I thought I'd give this model a try. I really didn't expect much given the price but I was blown away. I found the sound and color to be quite good, the zoom and autofocus excellent, and an excellent list of features and effects. The camera was very easy to use and even easier to hook up to my vcr (with the included cable). I was also impressed at how fast it charged. All in all, an excellent camera, especially considering the cost.

                4 out of 5 stars Great for the price.......2001-03-30

                I got the samsung SCM 51 recently and love it. It's got great features for the price. This does not have a remote (SCM 52 and 53 does), but for the sub 200 price tag I don't think you will find a better camcorder. I wanted to use this for a couple of years till the digital technology comes of age. For starters, its a great camcorder. The picture quality is pretty good and the sound is great. You don't have to scream to be heard. The 22x optical zoom and the 440x digital zoom are outstanding. A great starters camcorder for the price. I would recommend this for anyone buying their first camcorder.

                4 out of 5 stars Great feature, better price.......2001-03-23

                This camera is great for the price. It has many feature that enhance the thought that is still a sub200.00 camera. The size and weight is incredible. One draw back is the size of the viewfinder, it rather small. If you dont need or can afford a digital camcorder, then this is perfect for filming parties, and events.

                5 out of 5 stars Satisfied User in NYC.......2001-02-23

                This is a basic featured, entry-level model that performs quite well. It does all of the tasks you would expect of a camcorder, and the color and sound are fine, unless you are an aspiring filmmaker. It is very simple to use, and will definitely work well for the next 3/4 years until digital camcorders become more affordable.

                All I wanted was something to make home movies of my children, and possibly take on trips, and it has served me well in those capacities.

                I recommend it to anyone who wants to get a well-made camcorder and doesnt want to spend alot of money. ...
