Also, how do you know what format, bitrate the stream is? Is it all mp3?

Streamwriter will capture MP3 or MP4 streams if you have a link to drag to the media player of your choice:

Download helper extension for Firefox is pretty good at capturing streams embedded in flash:

I've had great experiences with Wire Tap Pro for recording webstreams.  It's not free, but there's an unlimited trial if I remember correctly.

I ended up using aTube Catcher. Once I got it set up right, it worked well.

Ditto for WTP...although one time I wasn't going to be near the computer so I tried to used the timer and it didn't work....probably user error if I had to guess.
