As I said, I can save it already using Itamar's chopshop script:
http://www.itamarst.org/software/chopshop.py (at least for Shout-
cast), but I wanted to make that more "attractive" by calling it
from iTunes, somehow, although such a plugin-ability might be too
much to expect, I don't know.

Thanks,

Dinu
