Re: Recording BBC Radio

["Malcolm Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, yes, the in car pc would be the ultimate - it would allow me to store
all my music in there too - but it ill be expensive (and how well do hard
disks do in such a bouncy environment?)

My car radio can play MP3 CDs, so I thought burning a new Mp3 on the disk
each day would be a fairly simple way to handle this - if I could get the
recording into my PC to start with that is!

Since Radio 4 is streamed, I thought I could do it all for free, by
recording the stream, but it's all looking a bit more complex now!  Any
software would also need to have a command line interface so I can run it
as
a timed task.
