RD Catch is a tool for recording stuff and dumping it to an file and then importing into Rivendell as far as I remember.
Rotter just sits on an output and records usually mp3s into hourly chunks. It will create directories based on the date if you want it to. Rotter is designed for archiving and works really well (rdcatch does to but its not really an archiving tool). I have a rotter box (with icecast etc as of the pastebin) thats on Ubuntu 12.04 with a current uptime of over 800 days. I have never had to touch the thing which is great as far as I'm concerned.
