Just see it as a slow download. Zanza I do not think that this is any different from downloading other files. Just see it as a slow download.

I have it installed and don't feel like installing anything more . For e.g to convert ANY mplayer playable stream to a wav file ... mplayer -quiet -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm:waveheader:file="/tmp/rawsong.wav" "$1" where $1 is the stream/file location. Then I can convert it to mp3 using whatever I feel like (or to a wma whatever ). e.g lame -V0 -h -b 160 --vbr-new /tmp/rawsong.wav output.mp3 I use mplayer .. . I have it installed and don’t feel like installing anything more .

mplayer -quiet -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm:waveheader:file=”/tmp/rawsong.wav” “$1″

where $1 is the stream/file location.

Not sure if the data of the streams are even stored on the hard drive or only in memory. Any expert on this topic ready to voice an opinion ?
