Can anyone recommend any software for making scheduled recordings of internet radio on the Mac, preferably with options of full AIFF/WAV and compressed MP3.

Sorry one more thing - preferably also one that can operate from sleep by waking the Mac when the recording starts

Thanks for your help

Wiretap or Radioshift by Rogue Amoeba

I use it - very good

Brilliant!

Radioshift looks really useful, too.

Radioshift looks just the ticket for what I had in mind - even pushes to itunes - perfect, thanks again

iRecordNow records any audio playing in a web browser

RadioLover records from internet radio

It's just for Mac though...

Another vote for Audiohijack Pro.

When i don't feel like opening up the DAW i just open up an instance of a stand-alone plug and just play a phrase or tap out a quick beat; recording into AHP and saving as a wav or aiff file. Later I'll drag it into Live and F' it up.

Also great for grabbing spoken word stuff off the net. It also has a built in timer so you can set-up a recording which might air while you're sleeping. You set the length of recording time and then it shuts off.Brilliant.

I use Radiolover which is great. If the station bothers to separate and label tracks the program will automattically create a new mp3 per track and then give it a track number in the order it was played so the mixes will always play in order matching the crossfades.

Also you can schedule recording times and I believe even record more than 1 station at a time.
