Ok, here is how to make total Recorder version 6.0 (though the same principle will work on earlier versions,) save recordings based on the name of the show and the date. this is not the only procedure to accomplish what we want, but it is the one I use. In TR, you can set a default file name rule for your recordings, and you can customize it, or use a completely different rule, for each individual recording. In my life, I only use TR to do what we're trying to do, so I'll make my default rule contain most of the elements we want so it will be easy to add the program name on each scheduled program. First, let's set the default rule. We'll make a default rule template that just contains the month and date. From the main screen, go to the options menu, and choose the first option, Settings. You are placed in a tree view of possible categories, and you land where you last visited. the File Names section is the seventh one, so arrow down to get there. Once there, tab. the first control you come to is a list of existing rules. We'll leave the default in place and use the first item, 'Rules not using file tag,' since we're just going to create a new rule anyway. The next control is a read-only box that shows what file name the durrent rule will yield. Ignore it now, but it will come in handy later to check your creation. Next we come to the 'new' button. Shortcut keys appear not to work here, so tabbing to get here is the only way to access the button. We could use the 'edit' button to edit the existing rule, but it's easier to just create a new one, so hit space on that 'new' button. with the 'File Name Generation Rule' dialog open, you are first given a chance to name the rule. This is mandatory, so use a name you like. the next control is the name template, which is the heart of the operation. the template can contain text and place holders, called fields, in any combination.Our template will be simple, just containing two fields. We pick fields from a list. the list is the second control from the template; the next one being the chance to put a file path into your template. so tab to the 'insert field into template' listbox. there are 20 possible fields. In the example, 'tony and dale show/01/08/06the '08 would fill the 'currmonth' field, the '01' would fill the 'currday' field (assuming the date meant 1 August and not Jan. 8,) and the '06' the 'curryear' field. Arrow through the list to explore it, or hit c to get to the 'currday' field. Tab and accept the number of digits, presumably 2. Next is a set of two radio buttons; with the top one chosen, your field will be inserted into the template; with the bottom one, it overwrites the current contents of the template. Next, There is an edit spin box that lets you decrease the number you've inserted into the template. For instance, today is the 5th, and if I put a three in that box, the current date of the recording would show as 02. Keep tabbing to the 'insert' button, which comes before the 'ok' button in the dialog. Once you press the 'insert' button, you've inserted your first bield into the template. As you tab around again, you see that the template is now populated. Depending on the field you're inserting, it can be most cumbersome to read the template, so just make sure you're at the end of it and continue on to the list of fields. We repeat this pattern for the 'currmonth' and 'curryear' fields to follow the desired example. (I prefer the 'currmonthname' field in my file names.)

RE: Scheduling with Total Recorder
Replay a/v records silently, so one doesn't even know it is happening. It can do this with streams of any streaming type. Total Recorder can only do this with mp3 streams, and even then it is using the sound card. The latest version of Total Recorder has added the ability to record multiple streams, which was formerly not possible, but I love the silent background recording of the streams without recourse to the sound card.

Hi Dean, it seems as though I am not able to get the URL, as it is a Real stream and Real Player starts when I click on the listen link. So, I am now wondering how this can be done without using the mini-browser and without being able to get the URL. I am thinking that I can do this by scheduling Real Player to start streaming, if that is even possible, then schedule Total Recorder to start recording at the appropriate time. I know this is possible, I'm just not putting it all together at this juncture. BTW, I am a Sound Computing subscriber.
