What would be the cheapest way to get set up to tape a four-hour show
off the radio, without having to stay by the radio and switch the
cassette tapes every 60 minutes? Regular audio cassettes can only
save 60 minutes per side. If you want to tape anything longer than
that, do you have to buy higher-end equipment and special tapes? When
I called Radio Shack, they'd never heard of anything like that.

I guess the other way would be to connect the radio sound output to
the audio input for the computer and record it. What's the simplest
software for taking incoming sound and recording it to an MP3 file?
(Windows XP has a built-in "Sound Recorder" program, but it only
records .wav files.)

Go buy the cheap VCR at Kmart. Plug the radio output to the
VCR's line input. SLP gets you six hours on a tape. Not great
quality, but should be adequate.
