Great solution! I am trying to use Hazel as you described but the image link in the blog post is broken so I can't see the rule settings that you are using. Could you repost image? Thanks again!

If you put a supported file (like an .mp3) to 'itunes-media-folder-location/Automatically Add to iTunes', iTunes will automatically add it to iTunes into 'unknown artist/unknown album'. Here's my plan: 1) Use Radioshift to record the stream to a folder 2) Run a script (either cron or, I like using iCal events, easier for me to manage and I'm not cron proficient) that a) moves files matching specific names to the iTunes 'auto' folder b) (waits maybe a minute, but iTunes added it instantly) runs modified Doug's Script 're-add as podcast' with embedded info I think that's it. I'm just about done with the modded re-add-as-podcast script. I think there may, now, be a slightly simpler way to do this (I’ve been looking for a way to do this as well).

I had one problem on my clean Leopard Snow Leopard installation - I kept getting "403 Forbidden" errors when trying to access the xml file through the browser (at the point where you try to access "http://localhost/~kyank/MyShow/"). This is probably obvious to those who know their way round OS X / Apache / Unix etc, but it turns out my "~/Music/" folder (a parent of the location the symbolic link points to) only had 700 rights. Not sure if this is the best way to fix it, but I got past the problem by doing "chmod 755 ~/Music" and all seems well. Cheers, Mark Hi Kev,

That's really cool. I liked the way you laid it all out..... My only problem..... No Mac. But, I'm a football fan from Jacksonville transplanted to Atlanta. I wonder if I could get the Jacksonville radio shows in podcast form, that might be really, really cool. I always see secondhand Macs on sale for $50-200, might be worth it just to keep my ear to the ground in Jacksonville. Thanks again. Wow!!! That’s really cool. I liked the way you laid it all out…..
