and den u can save it as mp3 or wav watever u want

How do you record music from your radio to the computer? My internet is to slow do download music from itunes it would take for ever.

The way I do it is to run the radio’s headphone jack into my sound card’s mic jack, open up Cakewalk or Audacity, and hit "record." Then, when I’m done, I convert the resulting WAV to an MP3.

Okay so the ipod touch doesnt have fm radio…but i would really like it. but you need internet connection. Im not gonna sit on my couch and listen to the radio…i have a stereo for that. is there any apps or whatever that doesnt need an internet connection?

I’ve used Replay Radio (now Replay AV) on my Windows computer for years to record streaming (over the Internet) radio programs, it will automatically if you choose convert to MP3s and import into iTunes. From there you just sync to your Touch. There are free recording solutions, but Replay doesn’t cost that much and has lots of nice options, including links to many many radio programs.

Also some radio programs are put up on iTunes as podcasts. The really nice thing about that is they usually remove the commercials, the most annoying thing about commercial radio.

I’m new up here in St. Paul for college, so I don’t know what the good radio stations are.
Any that play rock/hard rock/good alternative rock are preferred, but I wouldn’t mind an oldies station thrown in.
Thank you!

Radio K is the best for college rock, but only relatively strong at 770 AM, and the AM signal gets turned off at night. Seriously. Its (REALLY weak) FM repeaters are 100.7 FM and 106.5 FM.

KQRS (92.5 FM) is the big classic rock station.

93X (93.7) will put on some good heavy stuff.

Jack FM (104.1) is interesting, as it’ll seemingly play ANYTHING.

Finally, for oldies, theres Kool 108 (107.9).

I went on the website about 2 weeks ago looking for a bit of advice. And the conversation went astray as the person who was talking to me tried to convert me to christianity. Nothing against the religion its just not the religion I follow. Is this something that has only happened to me or has anyone had this kind of negitive experience with them?

I listen to dm live all the time, they are a christian based organization. That is why they tried to share the christian faith with you. I’m sure if you call back and tell them you don’t want religion to be brought up, they would respect that.

- good luck

My radio is broken, and I am used to falling asleep to classical music. Anywhere I can find a radio station online, or even several pieces that I can play in a loop?

Go to www.pandora.com and search classical music or a single composer. they play really good music and its a credible site for free

I recently installed subwoofers in my truck but can’t get them to play off of my radio. I can plug an ipod to the amp and the Subwoofers will play off of the ipod. But if I connect the rca jacks from my amp to the radio deck input, the subwoofers wont play. Need help please.

Side Note: My radio works, just need help with the input and output

Connecting the amp inputs to a radio deck input won’t work. You have to connect a preamp OUTPUT from the radio deck to the amp inputs.

Most aftermarket head units include at least one set of RCA preamp outputs. Stock receivers don’t usually have preamp outputs. The solution is to "tap" the speaker outputs (most often rear speakers) and connect them to a line output converter (LOC) and use RCA cables from the LOC to your amp inputs.

Here’s an excellent 2-channel LOC with amp remote turn-on:

I’m looking for a few of the best sites that play a wide variety of good music. I want a lot of underground and indie stuff. Something that will introduce me to new awesome music and play some great stuff I already know.

I use Pandora and NPR already and I was wondering if there are any gems out there waiting to be discovered.

I am thinking to start a FM Radio station Please advice me.

Hi amit.THis is my knowledge about how to start fm radio.Have and fun.

Whether you are looking for information on how to start up a FM radio station that operates on a low power FM basis, operates on a full power frequency or alternatively streams on the internet, it is essential to first establish what the options available to you are. It is also important to understand the process for obtaining a frequency, what the licensing requirements are, and also what type of FM broadcasting equipment and studio gear you will need to run the radio station.

The following is a brief outline of some of the options that may be available. Please that not all options may be available in all countries, as license conditions do vary.

When it comes to how to start up a FM radio station, one of the options is low power FM. This type of radio station operates at lesser power than commercial stations and so they cover a smaller area. The exact area they will cover is dependent on terrain and the exact amount of power you are permitted. Again depending on the country you live in, the low power FM service may enable you to broadcast anywhere near from 500mW to 100W, and may be license-free or alternatively it may be licensed. This level of power is sufficient to cover anywhere between a radius of a few kilometres to several kilometres.

Another option is operating a full power licensed radio station. This type of frequency will give station maximum coverage and will enable you to reach as many listeners as possible. Depending on the country you live in, there can frequently be provisions to operate on a full power frequency, but either on a commercial, non-commercial or educational basis. However, operating a full power FM radio station can be a somewhat complicated process – especially during the initial stages of determining whether there are frequencies available in your area and also costing the equipment that is needed. If you want to start up a full power FM radio station, then it is essential to get expert guidance at the earliest stage. This will ensure you get the information you need to make an informed decision.

If these options don’t appeal or are not available in your area, you have one other method for how to start up a FM radio station. You are able to establish a station that streams on the internet. It will be available to a worldwide audience and can stream in your choice of format. Common formats include Winamp and Windows Media Player, although generally we recommend the latter as most people won’t need to download any additional software to listen to your station. This type of radio station can use a great deal of bandwidth, so it is important to have a fast speed internet connection with a high data cap limit.

When it comes to choosing the type of station you will set up, one of the most common constraints is budget. That said, it has been proven that a station can start out on a low power FM basis and successfully make the transition to operating a full power licensed commercial FM radio station. Some of the points to consider when looking how to start up a FM radio station include:

- The process for obtaining an FM frequency and what to look out for

– How many Watts you will need to achieve the broadcast coverage you want

– What your obligations will be when it comes to music royalties

- What specialist services you need before to assist you in submitting your application for a frequency

– What is the most appropriate powered transmitter and what type of antenna would be needed

– The type of radio automation software that will be used

When you hear the oldies on the radio, is there a certain song that brings back a particular memory? Or maybe a collection of songs that define an era? Are you magically transported back to a time when you were innocent and people didn’t have to lock their doors?

I am fascinated by the couples I see at an oldies concert. They sing, hold hands or clap to the beat. They look at each other with a sparkle in their eyes and you just know they see each other as teens or young adults. They remember why they fell in love. If I squint, I can see them as young. I hope my wife can see me as I once was, not as I am now. It’s odd, almost 30 years and she hasn’t age at all…

What a great answer to your own question. It is absolutely amazing to me how vivid the memories are when I hear certain songs. I used to roller skate every weekend when I was in junior high. I hear songs like The Doobie Brothers "China Grove" or Steve Miller Band’s The Joker, I am immediately right there with all of my friends skating and laughing and flirting. It was an absolute blast and we did that pretty regularly for almost two years.

On another note, I lost my dad to cancer almost 10 years ago. I am from a very musical family with both of my parents involved in choral singing as well as barbershop. I majored in music and that is what my undergraduate degree is in. But I digress…..my daddy is one of the key people who allowed me to learn about and love music so much. We actually have reel to reel tapes of me at age three singing with my dad playing guitar. I love to hear Simon and Garfunkel, Chet Atkins, Harry Belafonte…..all the artists that he loved the most. I have wonderful, loving and fond memories of a remarkable man when I put on that music. It is a great way for me to remember him in a big way, whenever I can. I know that my mom feels the same way about the music. It’s quite a lovely thing for both of us.

I am currently dating a wonderful man who is my age. This is the first time that I have been with someone who adores the same music that I do because we both grew up with it. It is so much fun to reminisce and talk about the bands of our youth. We learn from each other and listen to music together all the time. It is a very special part of our relationship.

Your question and exploring my answer to it has made me smile and feel very warm. Thanks for that.
