I remember someone wrote into Stereo Review (now Sound&Vision) and told Ian Masters they wanted to record a radio program at a certain time when they were not at home. They couldn't find a cassette deck that had a timer.
He suggested using a stereo VCR employing the audio inputs and the timer.
He said that the slow tape speed would provide a decent recording.
I've always been wanting to try it, but have never got around to it.
If you do decide to do this, let us know how it works out.

Sorry. I guess wanting listen in the car makes this idea useless, but it still seems like an interesting(and Outlaw-ish)idea. I personally like employing technology in a way it wasn't originally intended.
