Over the last year or so I've seen several posts requesting a plug-in to enable timed recordings of NET radio programs. I too wanted to capture radio programs not available in my area (Glenn Beck comes to mind). I stumbled on http://www.mp3vcr.com, which does just that. You can get radio stations from Shoutcast or "Spin365", which I hadn't previously heard of. I'm not a programmer, but had no trouble since there is a great tutorial which fully explains how to set up a command line and add it to your scheduled tasks. I capture the mp3 in the same file as my music library, so I can listen to it over one of my MVPs. A word of caution, though; I was surfing the Spin365 stations and got a virus alert, so you might want to stick with the Shoutcast stations.
Best of all: Its free! It actually works much better than one of the paid programs ("Internet Radio Recorder") that I've tried.
