I'm looking for an FM tuner for the Mac that will run under OS X. USB would be ideal, but I wouldn't say no to a PCI card. I know about MyTV, which would probably work, provided there are OS X drivers for it, but I'd really prefer just the FM. I'm thinking without the video capabilities, I can probably get such a thing (if it exists) for less than a hundred bucks.
 
I've been looking for the same thing. Although, I would like a CABLE/TV/FM Tuner that works in OS X. I'm hoping to find something in the range of $40 - $75. USB or PCI would be fine.
 
Buying a radio just wouldn't be any fun. Plus, if I wanted to record anything it wouldn't be as easy to get on your computer. You would have to record to a cassette, then hook your radio up to your computer etc. Same thing if you're talking video, record to VHS etc. Plus, I do already have a radio. I'd really like the TV tuner capability, so I can be using my computer and see whatever is on TV at the same time. You can't over simplify things. :)
 
I consider myself a geek, but I figure that if I want the radio I'll have a real radio, which is cheaper and won't hog up CPU or RAM. I don't like bloatware.

One that never used more than 10% of the CPU and fit into 650k of RAM? Would that work for you? :)
 
sure, except for the fact that i never listen to the radio :) way too low-tech for me, I have internet-radio!
