NO don’t think so
I want to do this so I can replay the stations music in my truck or at work on the cd/dvd…surely there is a way??
dont know
I really want to start an online radio station!!! I made one before, but I forget how. Can you please tell me?? And give links for software?
PS. I am operating on a MacBook

If I can, what’s the URL? Thank you.
Well, American Public Media is the distribution branch for Minnesota Public Radio, for the most part. You can listen to MPR here:

I have a small home recording studio. I record my digital piano directly into my laptop. Recently, I relocated to another country, and now when I start up my laptop I hear a radio station distinctly playing through the speakers of my computer system. Also, I have heard various clicking sounds at times. Is there some unit or device that can remove unwanted radio and electrical signals from interfering with my recording?
Is it interfering with your recording or is it just coming through external speakers? If it’s just with the speakers, You can use ferrite clamp-on chokes if you are using coaxial type (round) speaker cable. If you are using 2-conductor zip (flat) cord, you can use ferrite cores.
What is it you are hearing in the speakers? Is it music or voice? If voice, is it understandable or is it kinda muffled and sounds like a duck on helium? If it is the later, it’s a Ham radio operator, probably operating on high power. He (or she) might be willing to help you with the problem. If your speakers use 2-conductor zip cord. You can also put a 47 pf capacitor across each speaker jack.
You know how you can stream radio stations on itunes? There’s hundreds of radio stations to choose from. Is it possible to do that on the ipod touch? Or do you have to download an app? If so, is there a free app that has all sorts of radio stations. I always use the Last.fm radio app or Pandora…but I want something different or similar to the radio stations that itunes has to offer.
Yes, you need to downlaod an app .. the best free ones are nova, abc … but the best one is tune in radio which cost about 1.19 but has hundreds of international stations
When were radios invented?
Who invented radios?
What are their significance?
Did they help in WW1 and WW2, if so, how?
Please can you try to answer some of these questions,
I can’t find any helpful websites to find these answers.
If you do come across any good websites about radio and why it is significant then can you put it in your ’sources’ box!
Thank-you in advance

The original radio was called the ‘wireless telegraph’ and was used to send messages with dots and dashes, just like Samuel Morse’s device. An Italian named Gueliemo Marconi is/was usually credited with the invention of the radio/wireless telegraph, but he was sued for stealing Nikola Tesla’s work, and had to pay millions of dollars of damages to Tesla.

Later, voice and music was sent over radio, and that was a huge leap in entertainment technology, and, of course, military technology. Radio is the basis of both RADAR and something called the ‘proximity fuse’ which helped win WW II.
I use the alarm every day but never the radio. It’s never set on "radio."
It’s happened when I’m in the room, so I know nothing / no one has disturbed the clock radio before it pops on. It just sits there quietly for hours and then suddenly comes on by itself.
When the radio pops on, it’s at totally random times which are never in sync with the programmed alarm time.
You probably have a bad radio. If the times are at random you need to take it back to the store.
I’ve just bought a Sony HiFi system. The FM radio antenna is just a wire. If I let it dangle down to the floor it picks up some channels.
I live in the city, so their’s a lot of channels, but I only pick some up. The ones I do pick up don’t have the best sound quality. What can I do with the wire if anything) to improve the signal strength? Thanks
If you are inside, the best policy to get any signal…. put the antenna or wire in the window. you can tape it around the frame, to conceal it. Sometimes the stereo system’s tuner can also be at fault. Differing models have differing sensitivity to signal. If you do not get as many stations as you like, I’d talk to the store that sold it to you, since you do not know who to calibrate the AGC gain to the tuner. Sometimes the tuner, itself is not calibrated right. Panasonic’s are becoming a major brand that has this happening.
Best bet so far… wrap the wire around the closest window. Then go from there. This works for TV as well.
