A VCR with an AM/FM radio built-in. It would be able to record up to 8 hrs. of radio programs while traveling.

This is half-baked in that I can feed the output of my stereo tuner into the audio inputs of my VCR. As you point out, using LP or EP modes, up to 8 hours of audio can be recorded, in bite size chunks.
You can't change channels - but since I only ever listen to Radio 4 it's not a problem.
Croissant. |

What 8th said. When I worked on special events radio stations all our output was routed through to a VCR so that we had an auditable copy in case of any complaints. |

Hmm.. you'd need to have it so that you could record audio on the video parts of the tape - but that shouldn't be too hard... |

Hey 8th of 7, why do you only listen to radio four? Theres loads of good stuff on all sorts of (admittedly usually non-commercial) stations. Like anything else tho', you do have to wade thru' loads of rubbish to find the gems. Or are you just showing off? And pwasson, why don't you put a radio in your car (or pocket) then you can listen to it AS you travel. Does anyone still have a VCR? Why?? |

To 8th of 7: With your idea, the programmable timer can't change radio stations the way a VCR can change TV stations.
To briandamage: What if you live in LA and travel to NY? You ask, "Does anyone still have a VCR? Why??" They are cheap! |
