How can I listen to medium wave, short wave, and FM radio without going to the internet?

Question

I well know that there are quite a few stations that offer their programs as streaming media via the Internet? But is there a device that, when connected to a PC,can enable MW,SW, and FM radio reception? I would like to know the exact specifications, including the device name, manufacturer, model/version, vendor in Pakistan, and the price in Pakistani market.

Answer 1

Yes indeed there is some TV adapters offer this or you can buy something specially for the job just go to your local computer store and explain what you want to do and they should be able to help

Answer 2

The guy's in Pakistan, folks he can't just go to his local computer store.

I would suggest Radio Shack. I looked at a couple of very inexpensive sets that would probably give you what you want. You can order online, hopefully they'll be willing to ship you your country.

I didn't see any that would go into your computer like a card, but the may exist with further searching. Both of the following are stand-alone sets at US$39 plus shipping
:
Dynamo Emergency Crank Radio with AM/FM/SW/TV/NOAA Bands
This set cranks to generate it's power and does not require electricity (though it also has a power adaptor).

Compact Portable AM/FM/Shortwave Radio
Model: 20-125 | Catalog #: 20-125

Good luck, my friend.

Answer 3

I've never heard of a device that plugs into a computer, but getting a decent radio can't be too difficult, and could easily be plugged into your soundcard's audio-in ports, if that's what you're after.
