Got one.

Two, actually.

One I built some time back.  Linux box, FM radio card, mp3 encoder,
some custom shell scripts, cron, and a cd burner.  I capture
scheduled radio programs, encode them as mp3, burn them to CD,
and listen to them on my 3hr round trip daily commute. 

It keeps me semi-sane.

Yes, I ripped the idea off mostly from my beloved Tivo, although even my 
first homebrew in-car mp3 player 5 years ago had fmradio capability.

I've been toying with the idea of installing an updated computer in
the car for various reasons (including a radio shifter), but then I 
found the Radio YourWay unit.

The Radio YourWay I got last week.  It does all of the above, including AM,
(except the mp3 is stored on internal 32MB or an SD card instead of CD), is 
the size of a pack of cigarettes, and cost me $121.94 shipped from Amazon.

So far, so good.
