hi guys, thanks for all of your help posting my message and then translating that site. i have futzed around and experimented with total recorder, and found a "schedule" option, where you can program a future time and day and record stuff that way. since i'm US EST, i plan to record the stream this sunday 4pm-5:30pm. i've had some experience with recording streams and have gotten good results. i'm guessing with the times here. 90mins is about the maximum that i can do-- i hope i get all of NC ... i'll let you know how it goes. if any of you Dutch speakers think i should do this differently, please advise! total recorder: http://www.highcriteria.com/ THE STREAM: http://www.omroep.nl/nps/4fm/ (click on the "online" link near the top of the page, in the center) Martin _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
