I'm interested in this too. A couple of questions. Will mplayer deal with real audio streams, which I think is what the BBC use? And can you tell it to record for a given amount of time? > On 17/09/06, Llywelyn Owen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Whilst I'm in a enquiring frame of mind, how easy is it to record to > > mp3/ogg/other some web streamed audio.

Used realplayer to decode the stream, Total Recorder to record it, all in a cron job (courtesy of Cygwin) to record my favourite radio programs while I'm out. Not figured out how to do this under Linux yet!
