Recording radio streams

The following command will create an mp3 file from a radio broadcast stream.

streamripper http://krmlcarmel.afraid.org:8000/listen.pls -d /store/music -a -l 1800

The options are:

• -d /store/music - the location to store the resulting files
• -a - do not try to split the stream into individual files based on silence between songs
• -l 1800 - record for this many seconds (30 minutes) and then quit

This command is launched by cron with this invocation:

25 8 * * Sun  rday /streamripper http://krmlcarmel.afraid.org:8000/listen.pls -d /store/music -a -l 2400

That should begin recording at 8:25am and stop recording at 9:05am
