I was looking for something similar to Rotter - easier in a sort of
way - which simply dump a mp3 streaming (no need of encoding, just
dump our webradio) into a specific folder and removes older files.
I was thinking about using command-line VLC, something like
I use this script, and it works great:

Surely this results in hourly discontinuities? For compliance logging
something like rotter (which constantly records with a ringbuffer and
is sample-level continuous in its output for WAV etc) is much better

I've only missed two hours the last 12 months, so for me it isn't a
problem. And with Rotter I always have problems with combining two
