I've been using a cheap FM radio feeding my Linux server's sound card
for over 2 years t  timeshirt radio 4 programmes (what other channels?
;).

After recording as WAV, I compress to MP3 or OGG (better for speeck
with silent bits as variable rate www.vorbis.com) and serve across the
network using a shared drive (www.samba.org)

The systems works extremely well, with a 30minute program ending up as
a 11Mb file.

I have shell scripts to do all this automatically as a batch job.

Cheap, easy, and very useful. If you used MP3, there's plenty of shiny
little boxes to play the audio back. www.scan.co.uk do a CD player
that reads MP3 from CD-RW for about =A380- a damn sight cheaper than
www.empeg.com!
