StreamRipperX: I ripped my heart out all weekend

...And all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Seriously though, recording from a stream seems to be the only way I can find some of those indie tracks I can't find elsewhere: legally or otherwise. The problem with using this system is that the streaming radio in question has to align the song ID tags with the true beginning of the tracks. I tested with a few streaming stations and they all seemed to misalign the ID tags on purpose by a few seconds. StreamRipperX is free and open source and can be grabbed on Sourceforge. I didn't test the commercial version, but if anyone has, be sure to drop a note in the comments.
