I think you aren't meant to be able to.
When I've wanted to keep one, I just send the audio
out from one machine to the line in on another.
I'm told there are various bits of software which
can intercept the audio path inside windows and save
the digital data, but I don't run Windows (much),
and the things I've wanted to keep have only been
voice-based for the most part so HiFi not required.

Some very baisc info in there, buried among a lot of waffle. And as
always with the bbc they couldnt quite get their basic facts right.

"screws will never damage a screwdriver"
"you can put your full weight on a screw when unscrewing and the
thread will never slip"

One interesting tip there, hammering a philips screwdriver into a
slotted screwhead to get it out.

Once I posted that I realised I was being dense and googled. But the
quality of the first one persuaded me I wasnt missing out. Thanks for
explaining.

I gave up trying to do that. I wasn't going to invest too much time in
it either, given how little BBC material one would want to keep.

It would be nice to be able to save them to listen to in the future not this
week.
Is there an easy way to save them in Windows or Ubuntu?

I found at least one idea in each 15min programme
that sparked a new connection of understanding in my brane
in the chat between the physicist and the handyman...

(and a few laughs too!)

Umm well, I'd say the screwdriver is a lever. But a screw is a ramp, and
I can't recall ramps being described as levers.

Streambox VCR (free but you do have to search for it since Real threatened
them with legal action) will record them - at least from the old listen
again system the Beeb used. You just drag the link on the radio 7 page to
streambox. Or drag the 'listen on realplayer' on the listen again page to
streambox.

Or you can find the actual link using url snooper (the older version is
better as you don't have to keep going to some web site to keep it working)
and drop that into streambox.

Using the new iplayer then Replay Media Catcher will record it - you start
to listen then stop. The program catches it. But it is not free and you must
have the latest version (2.8???) as Beeb has tweaked iPlayer again.

Whatever freeware/ bootleg verion of something or another I used, the
quality of the recording was diabolical. I ditched it, and IPlayer too.

I sometimes record radio stuff via the freeview box/dvd recorder and
then convert to mp3.

I've used Net Transport, though I've not tried it on the iPlayer version
of listen again. Occasionally it would have trouble getting the right
url. Otherwise it worked fine.

Trial period then nag screens I think

OLd versions here. I used the old freeware version

You also seem to have lost at least one connection. ^^^^^

Was it a fair exchange?

I can't remember!
