>>>".ram files are playlist files, they just contain a url to the actual
stream. You can use a command like this to download the stream and store
as a wav (assumes the playlist file is called playlist.ram).

mplayer -playlist playlist.ram -ao pcm -ao pcm:file=tmp.wav -vc dummy -vo
null

Once you have a wav file, it's easy to convert to the compressed format of
your choice using lame (for mp3s) or oggenc (for ogg). You could also use
a tagging program to tag them appropriately. Writing a script to do all
that automatically would be quite handy."<<<

Pretty beyond the ordinary computer user.  The simplest answer is to record it using separate software.
