Perhaps you'll find useful: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/freebies/ "Allows you to record any audio playing on your Mac, saving it to a file for later listening or processing. This allows you to record news from Internet radio stations such as the BBC News, sound snippets from your favourite DVD movie, record the audio from a game, or even iChatAV conversations. WireTap works using a simple tape recorder-like interface. Simply click the record button, and any audio playing through your Mac will be recorded to disk. WireTap can record any sound that is playing regardless of the source, so RealPlayer, iTunes, DVD Player, Windows Media Player, etc. are all supported." For conversion of any streaming audio to mp3 try this process: Open Wiretap. http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/freebies/ Press Record (for posterity). Listen to favourite BBC documentary live. NB: http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,1030176,00.html When finished, drag your recording into iTunes and convert selection to .mp3 Instead why not burn it straightaway and give to the kids :) Typically a 1 hour broadcast IMA 4:1 compression 16 bit in stereo comes in at around 200mb, and audio quality loss is negligible.
