Thanks Tom for that info. TR is the same way, so needless to say, I am using the pro version. Sure wish TR would include AAC in their recorded stream options, but who knows, licensing cost may be at issue with that. Anyway, it is nice to have this option, though it might not be the absolute best solution. Like Alexandra, I would prefer a straight rendering into AAC rather than a conversion to another format, but again, one takes it as one finds it.

Let me throw in a word about Tapin Radio: if you are going to use Tapin Radio to schedule anything, one __must_ have the pro version as the free version does not allow scheduling!

Hi Larry, Yes, I agree, Screamer is great. I think I misunderstood your question a little because I was wondering if there was a way to record the aac stream without it being converted which would result in having the original quality in which the stream was broadcast. I would prefer that to a conversin to mp3 or ogg. But to my knowledge Screamer doesn't do that. If you want to schedule programs you could try Tapin Radio, which also has a free version as far as I know. I haven't played around with it much, but the streams are more up to date and if you add a stream to your favorites you can schedule the recording. Ought to have a look at it myself again, but like Screamer so much and haven't got much time to do a lot of experimenting right now.
