I'm working on some music streaming on a Debian system (currently Sarge, but will be updated soon) with Slimserver. I like being able to stream all the music on my hard drive and Internet radio stations to wifi devices around my home. The one thing I miss is local radio.
I'd like to find a receiver that I can use from Debian through either USB or PCI. It needs to be easily tunable and to produce an audio stream I can tell Slimserver is an Internet radio stream. I can deal with FM only, but would like AM/FM. Of course it needs to work with Debian. I looked at the RadioShark, which is easy to use and to tune and the reviewers that liked it loved it, but about half the reviews cited extremely poor reception, so I don't want to try that since I figure the chances are only 50/50 it'll receive the stations I want to get. (If it weren't for the reception issue, it'd be exactly what I'm looking for.) For now, I have a radio that is separate from the computer and connected through my Soundblaster's input, but I have no way of tuning it from the computer or from a remotely connected computer. It has to be tuned by hand while I'm in that location. Is anyone using any kind of radio receiver connected to their computer? Does anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks!
