That only works for MP3 streams, not for other streams, such as RealPlayer. I have looked at streamripper before and it doesn't do what I want as far as I can tell. In the case of RealPlayer, the audio goes from Real->PCM->MP3, which I admit isn't great for audio quality, but I don't really care, I'm not trying to listen to music. In fact, that would be an extraordinarily hard way to get music. I actually want it mainly so that I can record NPR constantly and have 30 minutes blocks automatically encoded and sitting on my hard drive. Then when I come in to a show half way, and what to hear the whole thing, I just grab the files and burn them to MP3 CD. Then I can listen to CarTalk or whatever whenever I want, on my terms.
