[GRLUG] saving streaming media

[Topher]

Here's my story:

I bought an eipsode of cartalk from audible.com  I can't even begin to 
tell you what a mess that whole process is.  I now have the file I bought 
though.  Burning it to a cd is a headache and a half, and now that I've 
heard it I'm not even sure I want to.  It sounds like they just stuck a 
mic in front a cheap boom box and hit record.  The quality is AWFUL.

On the other hand, on the Car Talk website, you can listen to the latest 
episode in RealAudio.  Out of what is probably laziness, the filenames are 
logically named, so you can cheat and put in any episode number you want 
and listen to back stories.  The quality is really quite decent.

So what I want to do is play my epsiode from their real server and grab 
the output to a file.

I'm running Ubuntu Dapper, and I'd rather not do this in Windows if I 
don't have to.

I know it's fairly common, anyone have anyt software they love?
