Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

That overran, so, despite my allowing an extra five minutes, my copy is turncated. As I was not at home that evening, I never even got to hear it live. Does anyone have this part, preferably as an mp2 or mp3, which they could let me have, please?

I don't have a copy, but it doesn't matter, simply go the Radio 3 section of the BBC web site and use the "Listen Again" option to rerecord it from the net.....

John, I'm sure the answer is obvious but how do you record from the internet into mp3?. Is it simply a case of plugging your MP3 player in to the pc?. I have a Zen Touch MP3 player...which is the bees knees.

I'm afraid that I don't have an MP3 player so have no practical experience of doing this. I guess the first requirement is to save the stream, and I think that there are various software options to do this. Doubtless others will know
