its punk month on 6 music :-D, and a fair few progs are early hours of morning, or when im at work. hopefully i can 'listen again' to the programmes, but could i also record them to mp3 to listen in the car?

will any particular software sort that out for me?

thanks

You could use Audacity (free) to rip the stream to a .wav, then save it as .mp3, so yes, you can.

I record the Huey Show by the above means and listen to it with my breakfast.

See this is where Minidisc was perfect. There's nothing I would record on the radio these days (well, there probably is, but I don't know about it!) but in the later JP days and then the Breezeblock I would record the shows onto minidisc, listen in my car the next day. Then I would copy off the stuff I wanted to keep editing out the DJ. Perfect. Still got loads of em. Bloody MP3 pah!

You might be better off just getting the playlist and ripping the tracks from Spotify in your own time, they will be DJ-less and complete.

Yeah, I'm sure you can - staring at a wav file on the computer screen!
It's nowhere near as good I tell ya 🙂

audacity will try to find gaps in the music for you too I think, to split up tracks

and yeah, some songs look better than they sound anyway !

I just listen to the shows, then buy what I like.
Fairly ethical I feel.

Dez,I used to do that as well. I liked how you could 'T' mark points in the recording and delete any size out of the recording. Great for swear words in shop friendly recordings!

Audio Hijack on the mac is a nice app for it, but audacity works too.

Minidiscs were ace Dez. In their time.

As the price of CDR's and CDRW's tumbled though, they quickly nailed the coffin shut on the minidisc as CD's had always been more convenient, and more widely playable, but now they were cheaper too.

Recording it all and then editing in Audacity or similar (I prefer Sony Soundforge, but sadly it's not free, it's only about £25 as a download though of you could be naughty!!!) is sooooo much quicker and easier though.
