I am recording two radio stations for almost 3 years now.
I have those duct tape and wd40 scripts to do that:
# cat /root/nagraj_radio.sh
#!/bin/sh
cd /mnt/storage/record_radio
timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
echo "------------- $timestamp -------------------"
mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile "$timestamp radio.mp3" -fs ffmpeg://https://an02.cdn.eurozet.pl/ant-kat.mp3 2>&1 >> radio_record.log &
PID="$!"
sleep "60m"
kill "${PID}"
sleep 5
kill -9 "${PID}"
Run this every hour from crontab.
It works on my debian/ubuntu for almost 3years now and is pretty stable. It fails only if my internet drops for multiple minutes or power outage. The buffering usually takes care of the rest. I listened to a number of those clips and they are always complete and are 1h15s long so there are no gaps.
Usually those create 70-90MB worth of data per hour.
I use it to listen to that radio in my car and to be able to rewind, pull some mp3 songs out of there and listen to some programs I like offline or when they are no longer aired.
Feel free to reuse after changing the station url.
