After 9/11, I became interested in talk radio. The only problem is that I work and thus can't listen in any great detail to the radio shows I follow. Applian Technologies, however, has a great product that records my radio shows and converts them into MP3 files, which I load onto my H5455 and listen to on the subway on my way home from work, walking the dog, etc. The "program" actually consists of two programs--Replay Radio and Replay Player--which you have to purchase separately, so it isn't cheap (about $50 for both), but I really don't mind spending the money for something that (a) I'm going to get a lot of use out of, and (b) actually works! An added benefit is that the Replay Player, which resides on the Pocket PC, allows you to skip past ads. I should note that the software was a little tricky to operate the first few times I used it, but now that I'm familiar with it, I haven't had any problems. While it takes about 45 minutes to transfer each hour of programming to my H5455 via serial connection and Activesync (see my rant on USB and Activesync), I simply plan around that time and leave my iPAQ in its cradle.

Has anyone else used this product? I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about it.
