Can the software tune the digital audio now broadcast by some FM stations? Also are there any other devices with this chip in them? Why buy one when you already have a device that will work? This sounds like fun. I'll have to see about getting one of these. I can see one use for this. If you're travelling away from home, leave one of these set up at home. Then when you're out of town, you can connect to it and listen to radio from your hometown and keep up on local news.

moin moin,

build your own radio. I still listen to FM stations. This looks like a
cool way to make that easier and more flexible.

And there's a command line interface :).
