Ripping last.fm radio to separate mp3 files on Windows
(And if that's not a title to reel them in from Google, I don't know what is.)
Step 1) Install and download the last.fm proxy (requires Python)
Step 2) Follow the two-step configuration in the README
Step 3) Start the last.fm proxy amd configure a radio station to listen to
Step 3) Download and start StreamRipper
Step 4) Configure the output location for your files
Step 5) Put http://localhost:1881/lastfm.mp3 into the URL box
Step 6) Click "Rip"
You will soon have a directory full of correctly named (but ID3-less) mp3 files.

You could always run them through musicbrains to get your ID3. Can you automate that for me too? ;)-leff (I can never remember my blogger login)

same "fun" with pandora.com :http://www.tech-recipes.com/internet_tips1391.html
leff - have you got more details on how to do that? I was trying a couple of days ago and failed miserably. If the files are named correectly then what I tend to do is use MediaMonkey to sort out the tags, however I also have some unnamed songs which I'd like MusicBrainz to sort out for me.
Cheers for the Pandora ripping link, Anon - the other alternative I've seen is http://pyrcast.com/index.html but I've not used either of them.

I've been doing a fair bit of Pandora ripping. It's hardly ripping though, it's copying a file from one directory to another before it gets deleted when you close the app.There's that Java-based thing, Pandora's Jar, which can automate some of it but I found it was getting far too many songs named incorrectly - especially if I swapped channels - so I went the manual way and kept an eye on the files being downloaded.

... but now I know about Pyrrha, I'm going to give that a go. Meant to say that but didn't. Blimey, it's hot for September...# says:
thanx for the article, though this message is abit late.. it was a big help, though i don't that streamripper, i like the orignal console based version http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/and i prefer to do it in linux with quite a few terminals open.
wget http://localhost:1881/skip
wget http://localhost:1881/ban
wget http://localhost:1881/love
wget http://localhost:1881/np <--refreshes
using the /rtp and /nortp and the end there will turn on or off the record to profile..
and thanx for your compliments on the pandora.jar we spent alot of time working on it...
