I wasn't suggesting you buy a mini-disc recorder as such. All I was saying was that it's possible to attach a recording device (if you have one) to your computer and record the output. If you don't have such a device, and if you don't feel the recording of streaming audio is important enough to get one, then fair enough. The idea, per se, is not silly, and the advice was practical and well meant. I record this way myself. Be assured I shan't offer further advice in future.
