Is there hardware or software that would enable me to listen to my local
radio stations over my PC?

Simply check your local station's website (most stations seem to have one
these days) and see if they offer a broadcast stream. You will likely need
either RealOnePlayer, or windows media player to listen online. Otherwise,
there are AM/FM tuner cards that can be installed in your PC to turn it into
a nice radio set.

Like why pay $10.95 for a radio when you can build one for only $900!!!

Amazingly enough, an FM tuner for your existing PC costs less than $30.
The software is usually much more feature packed than an $11 radio as well.

can you record the live radio stream? I am putting way too much strain
on my Archos recording 5 hours a day of a certain talk radio show.

Thanks.

Most software should be able to record the stream for you, but I would
double check the software included with the card.

The new Radeon AIW 9600 not only does TV, with tivo like features, but does
Radio as well (with Tivo like features, like pause the radio in realtime,
and record functions.)

(1) Where can I find one of these cards for less than $30? (somebody
metioned this in the message stream)
(2)Is there a way to use more than one video card at a time? I know
that it sounds like a dumb question, But I have an old video card that
has a TV tuner function, but I don't want to use it becasuse it cannot
handle my graphics intensive programs, such as video games, flight
sims, graphics developing, etc.
It would be nice if there was a way to use the old card, and my new
card, without having to switch them out all the time. (dangerous)

You can actually do this, I had an old Voodoo 2000 lying around and
plugged it in, and it worked, it gave me dual monitor support. But I think
to have the Tv tuner part of it work you need to have two onitors plugged
in. So the TV tuner will only work on the second monitor that is plugged
into the old video card, and your other monitor plugged into your newer
card, will handle your main applications. BTW I did this with Win XP, in 98
or other, your milage may vary.
You can't get those new Radeon AIW 9600pros very cheap. Does your
Soundcard have a line in...if so, plug a radio into that (if its RCA, plug a
y adapter into it, otherwise use the headphone out to the line in). Now you
can use any sound recording software to record your radio, just like you
would record something from your microphone.

I can't find a dedicated FM card for under $30 anymore, but I can find
this:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1
&submit=Go&description=Apollo%2CGOOG%2DPC%2CTV%2C% 2CPC%2CVideo%2C%2F%2CTV%
2C%2F%2CFM%2CCapture%2CCard

(link may wrap, search newegg for "apollo FM tuner"). This is a
combination TV tuner, FM radio tuner, video capture card, with wireless
remote for $38 with free fedex saver shipping. It's a pretty decent
looking package too. Gets 3/5 stars on NewEgg.
