What I used to do earlier in the decade, was run shoutcast as a proxy. I had it set up to only connect upstream when I connected to it from downstream. I'd start up an mplayer pointing at my shoutcast, and listen happily (mplayer being my main media player).
If I liked a song, I had written a script that just netcat'ed from that same port on my shoutcast, and dumped it to disk, then wget'ted and perl/awk/sed scraped from the streaming station's webpage the name and artist of the song, and renamed the file to that. Done.
It reminded me of my junior-high-school days of listening to the radio connected to a 1/4" reel-to-reel player running at 1-3/4 ips, idling in pause mode, and kicking the transport out of pause mode as soon as a song came on that I wanted to tape.
C-30, C-60, C-90, go!
