Well, I'm not sure how to do this under windows, but the process works
fine under Unix or Linux with mplayer. For those that are interested, you
can download the sample file referenced in MP3 format at
http://www.nfbcal.org/~buhrow/netherlands.mp3
For those that do have access to mplayer, the magic command line looks
like:
mplayer -ao pcm <url or filename>
This produces a raw pcm wav file at CD quality, which you can then convert
to MP3 with the lame utility. I converted it to 64-Kbit MP3, which I find
sounds quite good with radio content, and which is compressed enough to not
eat your flash space for lunch.
Enjoy.
