So I got a new Pocket PC this weekend (yes, you read that right, sorry, don't like the Palms on offer currently and I can at least install software on it via Windows on VMWare). One of the main things I wanted to do with it is get Audible.com again and listen to All Things Considered from NPR on the way home like I used to. Now I find out they not only don't have an agreement with Audible any longer where I can pay them for this service, but now they are podcasting, but not the whole show. *sigh* So what to do.... My thinking is to capture the stream from local affiliate and time shift until I leave work. But how do I do this (I know how to use dump with mplayer for this) without getting one gigantic file? Anyone have any experience with this? Preston

I really can't stand a "start bar" in a palm. Slows me down. But to each his own.> and I can at least install software on it via Windows on > VMWare).Which means you're running Windows, no difference. Again, to each his own, but I like a device I have total control over under Linux. I've been using a Treo 600 for over a year, a Kyocera 7135 for 2 years before that and a Kyocerta 6035 2 years before that (going back to early 2001).> One of the main things I wanted to do with it is get > Audible.com again and listen to All Things Considered from > NPR on the way home like I used to.

Anyone have any experience with this?I had good luck recording mp3 streams with the combo of streamtuner and streamripper. YMMV: http://www.nongnu.org/streamtuner/ http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/ Streamtuner had a "record" button that called streamripper at the end of the day - very convenient. -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation
