Since radio SHARK 2 preserves the same size and shape, as well as the same blue (power) and red (recording) triple arc lights on its sides, you’ll have to decide whether you like the design or would prefer something smaller, as we now would.
While not perfect, the new radio SHARK is a very solid option for those who want to bring terrestrial radio content onto their computers and iPods.Īt the time RadioSHARK debuted, the idea of attaching a relatively large white and chrome plastic shark’s fin to a computer was at least moderately amusing.

Now Griffin has released the slightly renamed radio SHARK 2 ($50), a modestly revised version that fixes its predecessor’s biggest problem and offers additional software functionality, as well. Recordings could be left on your computer or automatically exported to iTunes for synchronization with your iPod. Billed as TiVo for radio, the original RadioSHARK allowed you to “time shift” live AM and FM broadcasts, pausing any station’s programming in mid-stream, rewinding, fast forwarding, and recording in real time. Nearly two and a half years have passed since Griffin Technology released RadioSHARK (iLounge rating: A-), a $70 AM/FM radio tuner and recorder for PCs and Macs. As with later revisions of the original RadioSHARK, radio SHARK 2 also comes with a USB extension cable to help you position the antenna fin optimally for radio reception.
#NUJABES RADIOSHARK PC#
PC users get an additional piece of Windows XP- and Vista-compatible software called SnapTune One, capable of automatically IDing and tagging songs it records, then helping you find higher-quality, purchaseable versions and similar songs online. Now black and slightly retitled, the fin-shaped radio SHARK 2 ($50) is less expensive and a bit better endowed: an updated radio chip and an included but optional antenna together promise better reception than the prior version, while new software adds on to RadioSHARK’s prior abilities to pause, record, and schedule recordings of live radio broadcasts.
