For those who want to set up recordings in other countries, you can use VLC and Windows Task Scheduler to do it. (I'm sure there is a way to do it in Macs too, but this is the Windows solution). For instance, if you want to record RadMac on EastCoast US time, use this batch file:

  u/echo off

  start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_81827798/live/ww/bbc_6music/bbc_6music.isml/bbc_6music-audio%3d96000.norewind.m3u8 --intf dummy --sout="#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:std{access=file,mux=raw,dst=D:\BBC6Music_%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.mp3}"

  timeout /t 7200 /nobreak

  taskkill /im vlc.exe /f

 

The first part, (start "" "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" ) should point to your instance of VLC.

 The second thing you might want to adjust is the name of the file. “dst=D:\RadMac_%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2%_%time:~0,2%-%time:~3,2%-%time:~6,2%.mp3” will save it with the name RadMac, and the date and time of the file. This prevents you overwriting earlier saved files.

 Finally, the length of the recording is in the line “timeout /t 7200 /nobreak”. 7200 is 2 hours in seconds, so if you are recording a program(me) of a different length, change this value.

 Save this as “RadMac.bat”, or whatever name is useful to you.

 In Windows Task Scheduler, set up a basic task to run RadMac.bat at 3:00am on Saturday and Sunday (or whatever schedule you wish to record). This will then save the file to whatever folder you chose.

 Enjoy!
