MODEL- RADIOSHARK2 VENDOR- GRIFFIN TECHNOLOGY

FEATURES- radioSHARK 2
It's never been safer to go back in the (air)waves - or more fun.
To put it simply, radio SHARK 2 adds the enjoyment of AM/FM radio to
your computer, both Mac and PC. But that's only the beginning.
* radio SHARK 2 can record AM and FM radio broadcasts in real time.
You can record while you listen, or you can set up recordings to occur
later, or according to a repeating schedule. You never have to miss a
favorite show again. Recordings are saved to your hard disk, and can be
added (automatically!) to your iTunes library for listening on your
iPod.
* radio SHARK 2 can "pause" live radio.
Griffin's radio SHARK software keeps track as you listen. Need to jump
up and answer the door? ...take a quick refreshment break? Go ahead; the
show will go on... when you tell it to. You can pause the broadcast and
come right back to where you left off, moments or even hours later.
* radio SHARK 2 adds Internet Radio to your old stand-by AM & FM.
radio SHARk's on-screen radio "tuner" looks, feels, and works just the
way you expect a radio dial to work. Your dear Grandma & Grandpa would
feel right at home with it. There's nothing to learn, no dues to pay, no
paradigm to shift. But, let's face it -- it's the 21st Century. Along
with the usual fare of AM/FM talk shows, call-ins, top-forty, and easy
(and sometimes no-so-easy) listening, you get to browse the ever-
expanding world of Internet Radio. You get to sample broadcasts that
couldn't squeeze their way between the curve of the earth and the
ionosphere. You, or your listening, at any rate, get to go global, You
get to try, before you buy, great music and sounds from all over the
world, via Cyberspace. And how hard is it to master? It's just like
listening to Radio.
* radio SHARK 2 gives you computerized control over your radio listening.
You love your radio. Now you can love your radio with digital control.
Plug the radio SHARK "fin" into your computer's USB port, load the
software, and start tuning in. You can pick it up as you go -- or you
can help yourself to detailed step-by-step instructions, authored by our
team of trained professionals. Before you know it, you will have the
airwaves whipped into shape, performing at your beck and call. And when
they ask you how you did it, you can just smile and say, enigmatically,
"It was easy."
Along with the SHARK "Fin," you get the optional antenna extension (in
case you live or work or play in the shadow of poor reception), the
full-featured and easy-to-use radio SHARK 2 software... and, if you are
a PC user, running Windows XP or Vista, you can take advantage of a
special free edition of Snaptune One, a very cool program created by our
friends at Snaptune, Inc. Snaptune One turns radio SHARK 2 into a
powerful Music Discovery Machine, with browsing, shopping, scheduling,
exporting, and cataloging features you will love. Snaptune One
automatically identifies the songs it records from radio, filling in
artist and album information, and puts them into a playlist for you.
Truly smart radio.
What you won't get is another wall-wart to tangle up that ever-narrowing
path between you and the rest of the room. radio SHARK 2 gets its power
from your computer's USB port. It gets its music from the airwaves. And
it gets its orders from nobody but you.
