I have heard about a program that records streaming audio at an mp3. I heard this from someone calling into a talk radio show, and he said he records their audio stream and listens to the show later on his IPOD. Does anyone know what program this could be, or a program like it? And does it work with Windows, or is it a Mac/IPOD program only? ---

The keywords for searching would be audio capture. I like Total Recorder, but there are many products on the market. [Total Recorder](http://www.highcriteria.com/) Have fun!
