Technology Live: News, digital cameras, HDTV, desktops, laptops, video games and more - USATODAY.com: "The Crawler Radio & MP3 Player is a mere 603KB download that lets you listen to and record Internet radio streams, selected from preloaded stations provided (most without commercials) or by adding your own favorite online radio stations.

If you need to leave the house but want to record an upcoming show, pull up the scheduler and select which station to record from the drop down menu, what time to begin recording and what time to end. Now you can listen to that recorded audio anytime (and offline, too).

Because files are saved as MP3s, you can also copy over the tracks to a portable music player such as an iPod. Quality varies between stations, however, maxing out at 192 kilobits per second (example: 'Powershot' dance radio). Preloaded stations are listed by popularity or by genre (rock, pop, classical, alternative, country, gospel, and so on)."
