Recording Streaming Audio?

[Brent Harding]

I had a shell account around with a fair amount of space once, and I put 
this in a cron script using a symbolic link for wget named acb or acbradio, 
so at the right time, I could say "killall acbradio." My problem was that 
using it on Interactive, I'd get 2 hours of backup loop week after week 
after week. Maybe in their infancy, if you joined the stream and a backup 
stream came in, it wouldn't go away when the broadcaster started unless you 
refreshed the client. They could be using winamp magic in that thing too to 
make that happen that wget just won't deal with.
