4356 2000-03-28 10:40:00 I am a fan of the music that the BBC Radio 1 DJ Andy Kershaw plays. Radio 1 has a live stream that I can listen to using RealPlayer, I get the location on my basic version of RealPlayer as:

file://C:\WIN98\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\OLMF49QF\r1live28[1].ram

Unfortunately Mr Kershaw's session comes over the internet from 12 noon to 2 pm on Fridays. Also my PC at work does not have any sound card, speakers etc, so I cannot even listen to him secretively! Howerver, I do have direct internet access from my work PC via a firewall etc.

What I would like to do is save the feed to a file that I can take home and listen to at my leisure. A 2 hour .ram stream may end up huge if saved direct???

So what I would like to know is how to most efficiently save a .ram file to disk, what software etc.

Would it be best to get it into mp3 format somehow?

cheers

Graeme
