<div>Yes. I will put the effort into developing it, unless someone else does it first. There are radio talk shows that I like to listen too... and being able to record them, automatically rip the commercials, and encode them to mp3 would be very desirable. At the moment my plate is pretty full, but as soon as things settle down some I will get going on this....
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>This does sound like a great idea. I would probably listen to a lot more radio if I could pick which shows to listen to and fast-forward commercials.<br><br>I don't think you will be able to automatically commercial-detect like you can with video - a lot of the video commercial detection algorithms depend on the actual frames of video. Worth a shot, though

The database for radio shows might have to be divided up by hour and labeled by the date and time... ie...
</div>
<div> </div>
<div> | 8 | 8:30 | 9</div>
<div>NBC | earl | office | etc</div>
<div>98.5 | 98.5 8-9 4/06| 98.5 9-10 4/06</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thus when you go to schedule via mythweb/guide then you would just select the hours you want to record.</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Screenscraping the actual stations webpages might be the only way. I think manually recording might be the best way for now, seeing as there are SO many radio stations, and some of them re-use the same frequencies if they are far enough apart. Easier to just know what time to record.
