Recording Audio onto a MBP from a stream - when I'm not there to set it on/off.

[Conor J McGowan]

Hi.

I got a MacBookPro in November, and it is fantastic.

My favorite Radio Show is on from 12Midnight - 2am. The problem is that I'm usually in bed between Midnight and 2am.

The Solution?

I have a streaming address from the site, and I was hoping one of you would be able to tell if there is an application (pref free or cheap) that could be set (like a VCR or TVIO) to record the same station, each night, between 12 and 2?

Recording the show would really add to my quality of life. There HAS to be a mac app out there that could do it. If anyone could point me in it's direction, I would be a happier person!

That is an excellent program. I have used it for a while and its very reliable. Everything will work exactly as planned.

Another option (although Audio Hijack rocks) would be the Radio Shark, by Griffin - no need for streaming...

Thanks again for the tips. I'm undecided as to audiohijacker or the griffin device.

Is it possible to record while the lid is closed on the MacBookPro? Once the lid is down, does it have to be asleep?

I sleep in the same room as the computer, so not having a glaring screen on as I try to catch 40 winks would be a big help.

Are there alternatives (i.e. a screen shutdown that could leave the MBP open, but not blaring light across the room).

As always, all help is appreciated.
