WANTED: DVR-like ability on my car radio
I wonder why we haven’t seen DVR-like ability on car radios yet, because I would love it. I don’t actually drive much—taking my daughter to school in the morning is the one constant—but the times I do, I find myself wanting to either
- record a song (or NPR show) to playback again later,
- “bookmark” a song (which saves the artist & title) so I can buy the album,
- set up a certain show to be recorded (such as a show that comes on once a week when I'm not sure if I'll be in the car, like Piano Jazz).
For the computer there are hardware options like the RadioShark, which can do some of these things. But getting recordings from that into the car seems like it would require too much effort (especially since I don’t have a decent way to play my iPod in the car).
Car radios seem to be getting more and more complex, with voice-activated controls and whatnot, but we still don’t have any DVR-like abilities. Get on that people!
