    Hi Velanche, I use the shoutcast plugin to stream internet radio shows also
    [mostly on weekly shows on www.pulseradio.net].. there's an option to save
    the broadcast to disk as you stream. Not sure if you have tried this
    already? Works well if your pc and modem are up to it (best if on a cable
    connection of some sort with a fast processor), if they are a bit slow you
    might get some skipping/buffering whilst streaming. To turn the option on,
    in winamp, go into Options - Preferences (ctrl P), then click on DSP/Effect
    and select the Shoutcast plugin, then click on the Configure button. At the
    bottom of the window you should see a Save Broadcast to files in ... [select
    your directory to save the mp3 file in here]. Make sure this option is
    ticked and a directory specified. Then you could burn them all to cd or copy
    to zip/jazz or whatever you have available..

    Files are only saved at broadcast quality though.. so good if u stream at
    high quality, maybe not so good if you stream at a lower rate..

    For some segments I also record externally to MiniDisc - that's always
    another option and is good for replaying sets at a later stage.. or if you
    have lots of disk space - record to another pc as a wav file or something
    and convert to mp3 if you like or burn to cd.. depends what resources you
    have available I suppose.

    hope this helps..
    good luck
    Kath
