I remembered this discussion from last year and am now at a point where I want to make personal CDs of seven hours of a program that was played on KERA-FM yesterday and is available now in one-hour segments (http://www.kera.org/radio/blockbuster2005/--the most intellectual, irreverent, beautiful, funny christmas show you'll ever run across. This was compiled from the archives because Glenn Mitchell died suddenly last month, age 55, on the Sunday before Thankgiving. He was the best talk show host around, bar none.)

BTW--in hour 5 is a beautiful version of Jean Ritchie telling a story then singing "Wondrous Love." I've written to the station to correct the spelling of her name in the playlist. The folks who put together the list were evidently getting their information from his archived recordings and didn't have all of the information about the performances. There are some question marks throughout the playlists.

I mostly bring this up to query the populace. Are the responses above still the best answers a year later? I have a recent full version of Nero, plus the usual programs that came on my HP when I bought it in February, 2005. Is there a program in Nero (WaveEdit?) that will let me capture the files as they stream and record them? Otherwise I'll explore the programs BillD recommends. I don't think they are there to download--that would be so simple!

SRS
