Honest question: So, I get the radio rewind feature, and I really dig the interface, but it kind of feels like it's a feature from some two decades ago? Are there really still that many people regularly listening to FM radio for whom this is a killer feature?
- gglitch 6y agoHonest answer: I carry portable FM radios around with me all the time and enjoy my local stations immensely and wish I could rewind to hear a title or composer's name, or some melody or similar, almost daily. I realize I could build something like this myself if I put enough time into it, but I'm pretty sure the pricetag would be excusable for me. Honest question: Do you have any suggestions for how I can duplicate all of the above (portable, FM, good sound, rolling digital audio cache) for cheaper, and without spending weeks soldering and coding?

- samatman 6y agoExcept this was an answer to a specific question, not a dismissal of the product. If that famous comment had been a reply to "wow Dropbox is cool and I signed up for the beta, but hey, how would you implement something like this yourself?", no one would remember it.
