If you use alsa sound system you can use arecord which is part of alsa-utils and lame to encode mp3. I have recorded from Internet radio stations with the command arecord -t wav -D copy -d (length of recording) -f cd | lame - -V 0 filename.mp3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
