Recording Radio Program _ Anyway to Speed Up?

[SteveF22]

Any AudioPhiles out there who know of a portable Radio Tuner/MP3 player that can record directly to .mp3 or .wav format?

Every week my boss’s radio show comes on for one hr. Every week I start the cassette recorder and begin recording onto cassette tape. My other duty is to place this show after removing the commercials onto a webserver for my boss to listen to in Real Media (.rm) format. As you can imagine this is a lengthy process as I must; record radio program, play back the cassette tape into my PC, edit out commercials, convert to .rm, upload to server. How can I speed this up?! A 1hr show turns into a 3hr dilemma.

The reason for going to the Cassette tape fist is to avoid problems. I once tried to record direct to my PC via line in, however my PC froze during recording and I lost the show. : (

I would love to just stick in my recording device via USB and drag and drop the radio show onto the hard drive for editing.
Thanks,
Steve

Just go from the radio into your PC and you can still cassette record at the same time for backup.

Also, must the file be in .RM format for the boss to listen to it ? What about just saving it as an MP3 ?
