Can I save Radio 3 plays

I can figure out how to listen to a Radio 3 play by sitting in front of my computer, but I really want to be able to save it onto my MP3 player and go and sit on a more comfy chair in the lounge.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do this? They're doing a Shakespeare season and there's several I'd like to listen to, but not sitting in front of the computer screen for a couple of hours!

The play I want is at:

It's fairly easy ...

... somewhere back in my postings, around October last year, I gave details of one program that could do it for you ...

... but just google on "record streaming audio" and you'll find lots of free and paid for programs to do it.

Basically you leave your computer listening to Radio 3 and save the output (which goes to your soundcard) to a WAV or MP3 file. This *does* mean if you have an email program that goes "ping", you'll get a "ping" in your play if email arrives.

For example, about the first link from google is
