I've been listening to a series of radio episodes at work with OS X

One of these apps let me save the entire show (after it was
downloaded) - I can't for the life of me remember which one! I
suspected an update somewhere along the line has "fixed" this so you
can't do it (so it always streamed and can't be saved).
Anyone got any ideas?
Failing that there's always WireTap or similar...
Cheers, Antony.
I know that old 2.X versions of winamp (the only other mp3 player
there has ever been! ;) did let you 'pipe' the audio straight to disk
instead of playing it, in other words it ripped mp3s.
I cant remember if I tried an mp3 stream though.
IIRC it wrote WAV data. Useful for temporary storage, not so useful for
archival due to its size.
There are tools out there that'll do that, and there are tools out there
that'll write the raw MP3 stream to disk too. I can't remember names
right now. Google might help, especially with the term streamripping
(and variants thereof).
