Capture Talkback local radio to Hard Drive to MP3 or CD

Hi can anyone help please? I am a newbie with limited Computer knowledge! I wanted to find a Free Capture Record Streaming Talkback Audio program's' so I can Capture them from my local radio stations' Store them to my hard drive and then record them to CD RW Disc's and (or) my SansDisc Mp3 Player' to play in my Truck CD player or Via the SansDisc MP3?

I have tried Audacity and I could not understand it or work it out? and it would not record or play back! I tried also Freecorder but same again and then they Jammed up my Computer and I had to restart in Safe mode' so I have not tried since! I am sick of following Links offering freeware and then finding that I have only DownLoaded the "Trial Version" any help will be appreciated thank's. Dasha
