Re: Recording BBC Radio

[Simon McCaughey <simonmcc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Total recorder from high criteria can be set up to do tmed recordings,
and I think it records directly to MP3 www.highcriteria.com

I've used it a lot, but only for recording wav, then I convert that.
But I wanted best possible quality.

Its not free, but good value at only a few dollars
