Novice in Search of Programmable Tuner

Submitted by MarkInNJ on

I'm looking for a pretty specific type of device; perhaps someone here is familiar with the landscape of equipment, and whether one might be available...

On the surface, I'm looking for a fully programmable FM, or AM/FM tuner.

By programmable, I mean that I'd like to identify a continually repeating schedule (in my case, weekly), perhaps through a computer program. At each designated time, I would be able to identify the new frequency to be tuned in.

The RIAA's Digital Radio Copy Protection Proposal; Plugging the "Analog Hole."

Nov 06, 2005

The hits just keep on coming in fair-use land. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has proposed legislation that requires that all digital radio content be encrypted, including works that now exist in the public domain. The proposed legislation would apply to satellite radio (Sirius, XM) as well as conventional terrestrial broadcasting. As proposed by the RIAA, content could be recorded only in blocks of 30 minutes or longer, and the recorded data could not be exported from the recording device (in other words, you could only play it back on the device you had recorded it on&mdash;no more recording programs on your hi-fi to listen to on your way to work).

What is it with Miles?

How is it that Miles Davis became the focus of so much adulation? Unlike the greats of jazz, he left no significant contributions as a composer. Instead of drawing his audience into the music, he turned his back on them almost defying them to follow the trip he was determined to take alone. Great players like Bill Evans blossomed after they broke their ties with him. Jazz for him wasn't celebrating a great melody by adding an individual contribution. His style was unique in the sense that he had but one speed - strung out, and personal exhibitionism was the only goal.
