Automatically save a list of the tracks that are played from a web radio station?

[vaughanharper]

Sometimes when I'm listening to a web radio station I hear a great track, but I don't catch the track name on the rAudio web interface before the station has moved on to the next track, so I was thinking about how neat it would be if the details of all the web radio tracks could be automatically written to a file. Is there any chance of that being implemented, so shall I hack around and try and build it?
Many thanks, Vaughan

In fact I struck lucky - I added a few lines to /srv/http/bash/status-radio.sh, and then it logs the played tracks to /var/log/webradio.log.

rAudio:/srv/http/bash  #  diff status-radio.sh.ORIG status-radio.sh
9a10,13
> # VH
> webRadioLogFilename=/var/log/webradio.log
> origId=$id
>
114a119,120
> # VH
>       echo `date` "|" $artist "|" $title "|" $album "|" $origId >> $webRadioLogFilename
rAudio:/srv/http/bash  #

This is what the output looks like:

rAudio:~  #  tail -f /var/log/webradio.log

I'm sure that it could be made more elegant, but it's done what I wanted!
