I coulnd't live day to day without my iPod and my RadioShark. The software has rough edges, to be sure, but 95 times out of 100 I get my program and with no glitches in sound quality. My only complaint would be that I have had it stop recognizing a playlist. But by using a new playlist I've always got it up and running again right away. If I could suggest something to the coders it would be include an option so I could shedule it to run the first, second, third _______ (insert day of the week here) week any given month. i.e. There is program I like to record that is the first Tuesday of every month. I've just downloaded the latest update and will comment on it in a month or so.
