I've posted the latest version of Streamers, which automates the process of making RealOne recordings, converting them to mp3 or mp4 and importing them into iTunes. It also allows you to keep a library of shows, so you can record the latest Car Talk stream without having to hunt down the URL everytime. The new version uses iCal to allow you to schedule recordings on a one-time, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The upshot is that, using Ambrosia's Wiretap, you have something a bit like a vcr with a timer - but more like tivo in that you can record shows by name once you have configured them, so long as you leave Streamers running (similar to iCal calling iTunes). I've posted it as a beta, so let me know of any issues you encounter.

The original Streamers that does not allow scheduling of recordings is still available at: http://homepage.mac.com/christiantur...reamers.dmg.gz

Any troubles with these urls, just go to: http://homepage.mac.com/christianturner/
and click the link.

Take care,
Christian

Whoa, this sounds awsome!

There are a lot of NPR shows I would love to hear, but am not around or busy when they are on...

Here's a screenshot that may help clarify what the program is all about.

I also neglected to mention that the download includes the source, which is public domain.

New version of Streamers that supports new alarms in iCal 1.5.1. The upshot: You can schedule your recordings in Streamers and quit Streamers. iCal will launch Streamers just before it's time to record - and then Streamers will automatically begin recording when the time arrives. It's automagical.

Apple added some pretty neat scripting additions to ical. By the way, anyone interested in making a free version of something like itunes calling ical could probably extract what you need from the streamers source.

Here's the new url: http://homepage.mac.com/christiantur...mers201.dmg.gz

The old version (and any newer versions I have time to work on) at: http://homepage.mac.com/christianturner/

Very cool. Do you think I could include Streamers with the new distribution of WireTap?

Also, I'd like to get you added to the beta list if you aren't already -- drop me an email at: [email protected]
