        ...Linux users should really check out streamripper.

        My crontab looks something like this:

58 9 * * 6 /home/chip//CARTALK >> /home/chip/cartalk/log 2>&1

        ~chip/CARTALK is just a simple script:

/usr/local/bin/streamripper [urlofthestationIrecord] -a cartalk.`date +%F` -A -l 3840 -d /home/chip/streamripper/cartalk

        ...and I end up with an ~11MB file for 1 hour of CarTalk.

        Note that the "-l 3840" is the length of the recording, so I
        don't need a kill command.  streamripper has some other nice
        features designed for the obvious tasks like this (such as
        automatically splitting and labeling tracks from a music
        stream).
