Recording streaming audio and deviding it to 15min files

Hi

I'm using mplayer to record my streaming audio using command like this:

mplayer -ao pcm:file=mystream.wav -vc dummy -vo null -cache 100 http://URL

What I would like to do:

1. record directly to mp3
2. record automatically dividing stream to lets say 15 minutes files (mp3 or wav).

Is it possible to do it with mplayer or any other program?

Thank you

make the following into script then setup start/stop cronjobs for 15
minute intervals. Or maybe the mplayer -endpos option can be used to
limit the stream to 15min chunks. Of course you'll need Lame


FIFO=/tmp/converter-fifo.`date +%s`
LAME_OPTS="-b 128"
OUTPUT="somefile.mp3"

URL="http://stream_source"

mkfifo $FIFO
mplayer -really-quiet -vo null -vc dummy -ao pcm -aofile -channels 2 $FIFO -playlist $URL < /dev/null &
lame $LAME_OPTS $FIFO $OUTPUT
rm $FIFO
