I like Total Recorder from http://www.highcriteria.com . The trial
version is free, but it periodically adds a short noise burst to the
recording. The Standard Edition is not very expensive. I don't think
that it will connect automatically to an audio stream. However, once
you are connected, it will do automated timed recordings and save them
in a variety of formats.
