PopCatcher: Radio minus ads and DJs

popcatcher.jpgAdvertisements on FM radio should be considered some unique form of torture. They're always so grating, so annoying, so… painful to listen to. That's why when you're driving with the radio on, someone is always designated the radio scanner, jumping between stations looking for music whenever the ads come on.

Now you don't need to designate a person to do that, as there's a radio that'll do it for you. The PopCatcher is a radio that will automatically scan through stations looking for anything but ads or annoying DJ chatter. It'll then record songs to whatever portable music player you have plugged into it, providing you with a fresh batch of tunes with no interruptions whatsoever. You can then prune through them and keep what you like. It's radio, evolved. And you'll never have to hear another annoying ad again.
