wrapper script for converting streams to iPod-available files

This is cool, but looking through it, it’s really just an automation of this post from the ever-itchy PDP-XI.

Releasing RadioPod:

I’ve cobbled together a server app, RadioPod, to record streaming radio stations, convert them to MP3s, and then provide an RSS 2.0 feed for a PodCasting application to download and then throw into iTunes ready for my iPod. I’m using it for The Today Programme off BBC Radio 4 every morning. It’s jolly nice to walk the dogs and listen to James Naughtie.

Ok, it’s barely any code at all right now. What is, right now? But give me a few weeks to get this book finished along with it (more on that later) and we’ll have the web interface up and released, and we won’t have to use cron and suchlike. Meantime, it’s all on SourceForge. Anyone can have CVS that wants it, and everything’s in the public domain.

I’ve got a project on Sourceforge. I feel all grown up now.

Just goes to show that the same itch is often scratched by more than one person.
