![]() ![]() In this first post, I’m just going over the steps to allow you to play and change the stations, etc.ġ. Now what you got to say, huh!? You can also do twisted stuff like make the shark’s lights change colors (living on the edge now, eh?) I’ll provide some links of places where you might find a Radio Shark. The standard Windows application/drivers for the RS allow you to listen/tune, time shift (like Tivo) and record live radio, which is still cool, no doubt (yawn), but check out this web-site to see what you could do with a radio tuner, and a computer…uh huh-geeks started their own home-grown internet radio station with a web server, some flash and a sprinkling of PHP. #RADIOSHARK WINDOWS 7 NO SOUND PC#It gives your PC that final touch as a true media server, but it’s also useful to be able to stream live radio wirelessly on your home network (come back for the next post, or continue to the bibliography/credits at the bottom for those instructions). It is the essence of true geekiness to be able to play and record radio through your computer. The powers that be might decide that radio is also copyright protected, and send out the black helicopters… Say you want to make decent quality CDs/mp3s of the local classic rock station? I might know someone who has a collection of several hundred songs ripped to an iPod that was recorded this way-uh not me, of course. If you are wondering why you would want to play live radio through your computer, read this. There are some cool things I learned in the process. ![]() If you follow the step-by-step, it shouldn’t be a big deal (even for a relative noob). #RADIOSHARK WINDOWS 7 NO SOUND CODE#Some very simple compiling of source code is involved and I added basic bash scripts at the end to start up the Radio Shark application. I’ll follow it up with a second post on some more advanced things you can do, like stream radio on your home network. I figured after all the rabbit holes I went down (like compiling libhid from scratch) to get this to work, it might help to have an updated one-stop for the next poor sot, so I created this “kind of” simple how-to to get your RS2 at least to play in Ubuntu Intrepid. So now, after much tweaking, I finally have gotten my Radio Shark 2 AM/FM tuner to play in Linux on my laptop, though it was not exactly simple to track down all the required and various information. I finally concentrated on fixing some of the more egregious problems I’ve been having with the latest Ubuntu stable release (playing DVDs and music). Ubuntu Linux has become my current hobby shop. ![]()
