   I'm not sure that you need Total Recorder.  It all depends on what   
   capabilities you have with Nero Media Player and Recorder.  This is how   
   I do it with Total Recorder....   
      
   Whatever audio is playing on your computer (sound card), whether it be a   
   radio stream, a CD, or DVD, Total Recorder records whatever it is as a   
   WAV file.  So I ended up with one very long and very large WAV file of   
   the show.  When I play it back through Total Recorder I have the ability   
   to set beginnings and ends of "selections".  So, for instance, at the   
   beginning of What I Do, I click on "Edit", "Selection", "Set Beginning   
   of Selection", and I stop it at the end of the song, click on "Edit",   
   "Selection", "Set End of Selection", and then I click on "File", "Save   
   Selection As", and name and save that portion of the stream, and so on   
   for the rest of the stream.  Then I use an audio converter program to   
   convert the individual WAV selections into individual MP3s.  The free   
   version of Total Recorder has limited capabilities.  I use the "pay for"   
   version ($12.00, IIRC - worth every penny IMO), but I'm sure there are   
   similar programs out there that are totally free with similar features.   
   I would venture to guess that you may even have all these features in   
   Nero.   
      
   Let me know if you need any more help!
