What shame? [Was: What a shame...]

Quoting Peter Hickman <peter.hickman at semantico.com>:

1/ Get stream URL from http://dave.org.uk/streams/
2/ Use mplayer/lame to convert Real stream to MP3[1]
3/ Listen to BBC output of your choice on iPod

Dave...

[1] Something like this I think:

mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile $prog_file_name $stream_url
mplayer -ao pcm $prog_file_name
lame -h -v -b 112 audiodump.wav $prog_file_name.mp3
