Win 7 box. Ripping CDs. No Metadata (album art/track names) (Page 3/3) maryjane NOV 05, 10:40 AM Oh, we'll get by I'm sure Radar. Thanks tho. I have a vintage radio I might look into getting going. Needs an amplifier tube. I have a picture of it. Somewhere... RWDPLZ NOV 05, 12:11 PM I only use the radio once a year now to listen to 'Alice's Restaurant' on Thanksgiving. The rest of the time now it's just sports betting ads, and a few songs the recording industry is desperately trying and failing to make popular. I have a couple Panasonic flip clock radios from the 70's that still work after a few minor repairs, and a Sony ST-S730 ES for the main stereo.

This is the closest to full time radio I listen to but it can eat up some data. https://vietnamvetradio.org/ Patrick NOV 05, 10:10 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: This is the closest to full time radio I listen to but it can eat up some data. Internet radio is pretty amazing (so much to choose from world-wide)... but yeah, having it running all day could use up a fair amount of data. maryjane NOV 05, 10:52 PM On my am/fm clock radio.. Other than I'm acting in some way as an antenna, what does it mean if the station comes in better/clearer/louder if I reach over and place my hand on it? Am I right in understanding that the little wire hanging out the back is just for AM and the fm antenna is probably a bar antenna located inside the plastic case?
