How do I transfer online radio music to disc

Hi, I listen to online radio stations through my stereo which is connected to my computer, can anyone tell me if it is possible to transfer music from online radio to disc via the computer. If so how do I do it.

I would record the streams with Audacity first, then with the resulting files choose to create an 'audio' or 'MP3' disk with my burning software.

If your player is capable of playing MP3 disks, then creating an MP3 disk would be preferable as one can fit 10-15 times the number of songs on a blank CD this way (or even ~1000 MP3s on a blank DVD).

However, be aware that recording in this fashion & writing to disk may be illegal especially if the material is copyrighted & explicitly prohibits this practice (check each individual website for this). If it isn't, then doing so for personal use may be OK - but do not sell, share or play these recordings/disks in public as these will almost certainly be illegal. G

P.S. Screamer Radio (recently suggested by sra) is a helpful all-in-one solution - it has its own record function so Audacity may not be required except in certain situations
