I always wanted to make a good car stereo/computer out of one.

Now THERE'S an interesting project. I've often wondered how one could make a DAR...Digital Audio Recorder...to record and buffer FM radio audio the same as is done for video with a DVR.

With a Rasperry Pi...one could...in theory create such a device. Not unlike a Linux Myth TV DVR for home use. But this would be small enough to install in a car.

Haven't you occasionally listened to the radio and said, "What the heck did he just say?"

This would be very easy to do but I think the manufacturers would be scared to death to make it for legal reasons (copyrights, DRM, royalties). If you made something that could back up 30 seconds of audio I’ll bet the music industry would get you for “making available a device that illegally records their valuable property”.
