OK three fourms in one day! Horay!

Now to my question...

Can I listem to FM Radio from my iBook? I know I can listen to Radio in iTunes, but I want to listen to the Radio when I'm not online. Is there a USB adapter? Heck even Gameboy has a Radio tuner, I want one! This may sound crazy but... iBooks have a built-in AirPort Antena right? Can you use it to listen to the Radio with some kind of card? Just wondering.... Any help?:rolleyes: :eek: :rolleyes:

i remember 2 years ago going to the local computer store and they had a few things on display where you can hook up an adapter to your computer and it will be able to play fm radio, i thought it was neat n it sold for around $80 CDN, but never did buy one :S

the company eskape makes an fm tuner. my dad has the tv model - the fm tuner also comes with a tv tuner, built in.

the tv tuner isnt really all that great.. but just a thought...

The first Bingo is the product. It says for PCs, but the second Bingo is an application for MacOS X that will supposedly run it. It's amazing what two minutes spent on versiontracker.com will turn up... :cool:

Your session timed out. What category was it under, and what was it called? I just perused the Apple Store and looked in all the categories I thought it could be under and didn't find anything.
