It should be noted, that one of the goals of the streaming audio tech. was denying the end user the ability to record the data being streamed. That said, there are a number of ways to get around this limitation, depending on what hardware, etc. is available to you.
Perhaps easiest, is to use some external device, such as a mini-disc player or tape deck, pipe the audio to it to record, then pipe it back to the computer for conversion to .ra format. A variation on this involves two computers, where sound from one is input to the second, where it is recorded in .ra format.
There are also software alternatives, AudioJacker & Total Recorder, to name two programs specifically. These are the best solutions, because there is no digital-to-analog conversion required to make the file, thus less noise and other nasty analog stuff in the recording.
No, I do not have copies of these programs, I believe one (if not both) can be downloaded from the web.
