Hi Larry, Yes, I agree, Screamer is great. I think I misunderstood your question a little because I was wondering if there was a way to record the aac stream without it being converted which would result in having the original quality in which the stream was broadcast. I would prefer that to a conversin to mp3 or ogg. But to my knowledge Screamer doesn't do that.
If you want to schedule programs you could try Tapin Radio, which also has a free version as far as I know. I haven't played around with it much, but the streams are more up to date and if you add a stream to your favorites you can schedule the recording. Ought to have a look at it myself again, but like Screamer so much and haven't got much time to do a lot of experimenting right now.
