I'm not sure. I did see that. Since I'm recording for many hours at a 
time, wouldn't I come up with a 300MB file or something? I chose the 
default method because I would like for pieces to play individually, and 
I'd also like to know what I'm listening to (I'm not much of a classical 
officianado, but through this station I've already discovered a Baroque 
composer I like that I didn't even know about--Boccherini). Both of the 
"single file" options seem to me to mean that the file is the length of 
the recording session, and that the program does not present information 
or make any sort of divisions in that file (say, by composer). But 
documentation is not always as descriptive as it could/should be, so 
likely only by experimentation could I determine for sure exactly what the 
-a and -A options do. Have you tried them, or is it perhaps more clear to 
you from the documentation than it is to me what they do?

Pondering over your other suggestions . . .

PS Btw, what does "track" translate to in classical music terms? And does 
the -r option, for relay, make the program play rather than record?
