   Diane, I have been able to get around this problem by recording the WMA   
   off my sound card into a WAV file (I use a program called Total Recorder   
   which sounds like it does what nero media player and recorder does, if   
   you used it to record the radio stream).  Once in WAV format, I just   
   convert it to an MP3.   
      
   Hope this helps!

   P.S.  I recorded the radio stream, too - but there are some blank spots   
   (buffering, I guess, but it's not too bad).  When time permits, I'll try   
   to break it down into separate tracks/narratives (didn't you all just   
   LOVE Donald's narratives?)and convert them to MP3s.  I'll be happy to   
   upload them someplace or to email them to anyone who wants them.
