Radio! AKICOLJ

Say that I want to listen to something on iPlayer. I can download it, and it will stay on my computer for a period of time before vanishing forever. But say that I want to keep it permanently. There is a radio-cassette player behind me, so I could use that, but I know that it can be done with the computer - but how?

In the past, I used Beebotron (http://beebotron.org/index3lite.php?reload) to get the Windows Media Player links to the program (find program, right click, copy link location) then used NetTransport to download it. And then if you want it other than in .wma format, I used to use Wavepad to convert to mp3. But now I don't commute to an office with an ipod, I don't bother with the last bit.

But times have moved on and I expect there is a much easier way that I don't know about. Husband, like read2day, recommends Audacity but I can't get it to work on my desktop.

Thanks! In the past, I have simply got other people to do it for me, so you are way ahead of me. But I shall be trying the easier versions first!
