I would like to be able to create MP3 files from some BBC programmes (mainly
R4 speech) on their web site. I have Musicmatch so I feel there ought to be
a way of feeding the stream from RealPlayer (or similar) into the "Recorder"
of my MusicMatch programmes, giving an MP3 file.

I'm not sure if there is any copyright issues, but I doubt it since BBC are
already making available some of their programmes (eg R4's "In Our Time") as
straightforward MP3 downloads on an experimental basis.

Any advice on easy ways of doing this?

Thanks
Steve
