– Next, you must select whether the recording is played as it is recorded at the time of scheduling. Unlike other content-providing technologies like Podcasts, the radioSHARK does not create a playlist, does not automatically sync, and does not add recordings to the iTunes library. – Second, the Windows version lacks any iTunes integration. That means all recordings will have to be converted by iTunes for Windows users. Only WMA and WAV are supported for Windows, and AAC and AIFF for Macs. – First, the radioSHARK cannot record to MP3! That’s right this is sold in the iPod section of stores everywhere, yet it cannot record to the most popular music format in the world. These are just some of the issues we had that were not part of the design of the software. Ideally, we would have a folder in the My Music folder for each show, but that was not possible with our version of the software. This makes it difficult and annoying to organize manually.

We are still unable to specify a recording location besides the My Documents folder.

Thankfully, the software never corrupted our entire system, but at version 1.1.7 we find the current software barely usable.

We had to reinstall the latest version of the software several times to get semi-complete functionality (“semi-complete” because it was the most functional install we were able to get.) We had issues with saving channels to memory, scheduling being recognized, actual recording to files, and device initialization. Where the radioSHARK fails miserably is in the software on the Windows side.

A nice addition is the included four foot-long extension cord, allowing the radioSHARK to be placed a full eight feet away. The thin white USB cord measures four feet, so the radioSHARK can be placed far away from interference-emitting computer components. In addition, there is an antenna port on the back that allows for better reception through an optional external antenna. The radioSHARK is powered over the USB bus, so no external power supplies are needed.

During regular operation and while simply plugged in, the arcs emit a soft blue glow. Three increasingly large semicircles adorn the sides and indicate the status of the recording software. It gets its name from the shark fin shape of the hardware. The radioSHARK itself is a combination of glassy iPod-esque white and reflective chrome.

We were deeply disappointed by the actual execution, though. MP3 player add-ons are always a hot seller, and at $69.95 MSRP, the price point is just right.

What a great idea! That’s the Griffin radioSHARK. Then market it to iPod and MP3 player owners.
