I know there is hardware that help you to do this.. :google:

I think Dlink had one of this...  again.. :google:


RE: FM Tuner??? by Joe on 06-26-2004 at 04:19 AM

i meant without using hardware..... i doubt it's possible though


RE: FM Tuner??? by leito on 06-26-2004 at 04:29 AM

yep, i think is impossible


RE: FM Tuner??? by saralk on 06-26-2004 at 11:25 AM

yeah it is impossible, unless u somehow managed to modify a bluetooth adapter or something, very hard though, probably impossible


RE: FM Tuner??? by chungster on 06-28-2004 at 08:43 AM

not possible since fm radio is area based

Lol... you could probably weld together some sort of circuit and plug it into you microphone in port of your PC.... the phrase crystal radio pops into mind because it doesn't use external power

Can't you have something like one of those tuner cards you can get where you can watch TV, but with the Radio instead.. :S

Almost all TV-tuner cards for the PC also have a radio-tuner....


RE: FM Tuner??? by illuzn on 06-28-2004 at 11:48 PM

But your missing the point he doesn't want to buy a tv tuner card

Then the only possebility that exists is searching on the net for a radio that also broadcasts its FM program thru internet (streamig).

(For example, you can listen to many Belgium radiostations thru audio-streaming on the net also)
