Have you heard part of a great radio show but want to listen on your terms?
- Want more than just a weekly BBC Friday Night Comedy download?
- Want to Listen Again to something more than a week old?
- Like to make podcasts of an entire Drama series to listen to on the move?
- Addicted to Radio 4 ?
- Like Radio 7 - but unable to listen again online?
I found this application a few years ago and as an avid Radio 4 fan still find it invaluable.
Anubis can record an entire radio station's output all day, everyday for weeks or months at a time and you can listen to it at your leisure, either on demand or use the archive to make your own podcasts of any show, not just those they want you to have.
- Not sure what you want to listen to? - Not a problem - grab it all and decide later!
Anubis is better than Sky Plus or a Tivo - they can only guess at what you might want to watch next week, or record all the episodes of a show if you tell it to.
It's better than the BBC iPlayer you can use it for any show on any radio station! You can keep it indefinitely and playback on any PC - or make CDs or MP3 postcast files to listen when you want.
Anubis let's you rewind time by weeks or months and listen to a show you only heard about weeks after it was broadcast.
Now, if you are wondering why anyone would want to listen to boring old Aunty or any other Radio broadcaster of this may not be for you. But if you think the pictures are better on radio then read on ...
What does it cost?
It's free! All you need a Windows PC with a sound card and any suitable radio source - DAB, Freeview, or Satellite any will do. If you have a machine with say a 120Gb hard disk you can keep 6 months or more of radio archive at FM quality.
How Does It Work/What do I Need Overview
Depending on the compression level you set up the Anubis Recorder creates mp3 files of about half a gigabyte a day. So a 120Gb hard disk will keep over six months of radio.
The only downside is that you need to leave this PC and radio running all day (or at least all the time you want to record).
Once you have recorded some radio the Anubis Player allows you to select a show, either by time of day, or by name from a schedule. [See picture above right.]
