TiVo-Like Devices for Radio?

crank asks: "I've recently hoisted an antenna high upon my roof, since I'm bored with listening to the mega-watt corporate radio stations and instead and enjoying great, niche college and NPR stations. What I need is some sort of TiVo-like radio device, which will tune to the appropriate radio station and record to the hard drive (ideally to MP3 or Ogg Vorbis formats). Then, I could dump these to one of the many portable devices or stream from a computer for later listening. This is especially important with stations that change format frequently throughout the day, such as KFJC. Any suggestions? I think the tricky part would be integration of the FM tuner. I've had limited success with leaving the radio station pre-tuned to the station I want to tape, but I'd like something smarter that would power up, capture the program, and then power down."

How bout a winamp plugin?

[Screaming Lunatic]

I listen to Internet radio stations all the time using xmms. A lot of college stations are available at shoutcast.com. It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to write some sort of plugin for winamp that could do the job.

If the winamp plugin system won't do, how about heading over to the xmms dev mailing list and asking a few questions there.
