Recording BBC Listen Again programmes

I'm a recent convert to Mac from Ubuntu. In Ubuntu, I was able to set up mplayer to record the streamed audio from the BBC Listen Again feature (using the details contained in the RAM file) and convert it to MP3, all as a cron job.

I'm sure a similar thing is possible on the Mac, but don't know what I need to do!

If it helps, this is the basis I used on Ubuntu - http://grimthing.com/archives/2004/0...-with-mplayer/

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

I'll take a look - does this allow scheduling and the like?
