Im sure i have come across programs that allow the recording of streamed audio. Do a search on www.downloads.com, you may find something on there.
Sorry but i cant remember any of the names.

Opening your Windows Recorder whilst having the player in the background should allow you to record in .wav format. Nero allows recording in MP3
format easy enough... make sure you have record from output or similar enabled.

I may, or may not, have used software called All Sound Recorder to record the last Marc & Lard show from said facility.

This only gives you an analogue copy of the stream though. Having said that, they've turned the quality down so much that you'd not notice
the difference 
The big issue is that you can only record while you are listening, so an hours programme takes an hour to record. Not exactly a good use of time.

... so, what you really want are:
URL Snooper, and
Streambox VCR Suite v2.
URL Snooper monitors streaming connections, and gives you the URL of the source (gets around the fact that the BBC try to hide where their streams are
coming from)
Streambox VCR Suite can download and save streaming media (including the RealAudio stuff that the BBC uses). It can also convert RealAudio into MP3,
which is pretty essential. The big plus is that by doing this, you get the original digital copy that they are streaming, and you get it as fast as
your connection can deliver it.
I can download and convert to MP3 a 30minute radio show in a few minutes. I like some of the serialised books and plays, but never get to listen to
them all live, so I find it useful to download them, convert them to MP3's and then listen to them on the train or in the car the following
week.
Cheers

Wow, thanks for the suggestions folks. I've tried that Streambox software, and it works a treat!
The stream I have got has come through at 32KBps. Is that rate usually limited by my internet connection (1Meg Broadband) or the source?
