Hi, Wget grabbing the stream may work for an online station, but if you're broadcasting on-air, in some jurisdictions in the world there is a requirement to record the air feed if at all possible. This is the case where I am, the regulatory expectation is that you'll keep a true copy of your over the air broadcast for 30 days. Normally this is done by connecting a receiver to your recording equipment (I've actually been told that a recording of a board feed / audio chain feed would be acceptable if there is a reason that it is not possible to record an air feed, however this isn't the preference). As a result - if there's a way to record the air feed and instead wget with a stream gets used, it might be considered non-compliance if the question ever came up (admittedly this is a question I've never asked).
Just something to think about.
