This is a terrific little product. It worked not only with iTunes 4.2, but iTunes 4.5 on the day that upgrade was released, too, with no problems. Christian's CarTalk fix is necessary, though, if you want to record that program. I think the only issue I ran into was when the Streamers Library once didn't re-find itself properly after I continually added and deleted programs from its Library.

One night, I had the eMac turn itself on (Panther required), record four hours of programs scheduled through iCal, and shut itself off (again, Panther is needed) an hour after the recording was done. Just a note: it took my computer about half an hour to import a three hour recording into iTunes. I don't have an iPod, so I simply burn a CD-R or CD-RW. Burned as an audio file, I think I got a little under 80 minutes on one CD-R. For a two-hour audio program, iTunes will tell you up front that it will require two CDs. It will intelligently fill the first CD, and then ask for the second blank to burn the remainder. (Of course, MP3s take up much less space - probably 4-5 hours on one CD.) This is living!
