Just thought I'd post this in case anyone was interested....

I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero, a $5 computer roughly the size of a stick of
Juicy Fruit gum, to capture the weekly broadcasts of Star's End and
Galactic Travels.

I installed a package called Streamripper.  Then I set up some Cron jobs to
schedule Streamripper to run at the correct times.

The great thing about recording the show this way is that it does *not*
transcode the stream.  It captures the mp3 stream exactly as broadcast
(128k).

Also, the Pi Zero draws so little current and is so stable it can be left
on 24/7.  I finally got my Pi Zero in early January (they sold out quickly
and were hard to find for a long time) and it has been running and
recording perfectly since then.

I can give more details if anyone else wants to do this.
