The usual readers of this blog (all three of you) may find this quite uninteresting, but I’m posting it here as Google-fodder in hopes it may be useful to someone out there.
Say there’s an internet audio stream that interests you (like, for example, a radio feed). But say you’d rather not listen to it while tied to a device with an internet connection - you need to rip it to a file on disk. And lastly, just for kicks, say the radio feed already has its advertisements kindly blanked out with silence by the stream provider, but you find those three-minute silences irritating to skip over manually.
