Personal Digital Audio Recorder

Hello,

I have been wondering if it is not possible to expand the capabilities 
of StreamTuner to include something like a Tivo for music. 

It might work something like this:
The user would supply a list of artists and a list of song titles.  He 
then tells StreamTuner to start looking for those names in the stream 
directories that are currently being managed. Whenever a stream is found 
that is playing a song that the user wants, StreamRipper is used to 
download the single song and then exits.

To search the stream directories for specific songs would require 
StreamTuner to update is stream listing ever few seconds, discard the 
streams that do not supply a "now playing" title, and optionally 
discard  stream whose "now playing" title does not conform to the common 
Artist Name - Song Name format.


My question is, is this possible to do in StreamTunner?
Would updating the stream directory place too great a load on the 
directory servers?
Is it possible to have songs by request on StreamTuner?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
