Hi!
Why not accessing the windows sheduler via the commandline?
The way I would schedule a recording
1.) It is possible to excecute a shell command with Usine Scripting: see procedure winExec(cmd : string);
2.) I would schedule a excution event to start usine at the desired time. Schtasks.exe :

3.) Write a recording patch, which is started by the scheduler and after the recording leave Usine.
Finished
But the main question is, how to get webradio sound into Usine?
I've done this some years before using a cable from the output of the soundcard and route it to the input of the soundcard and record the incomming sound. Usine can't record a webradio stream direct (as I know).
It would be possible to build an interface between e.g. VLC as webradio player, a virtual soundcard and usine.
Let me write it in a better way:
=== Preparation ===
Start Usine
Start a patch which creates a schedule (Usine Scripting)
End Usine.
=== At recording time ===
Scheduler starts Virtual Soundcard (Or it is permanent installed and comes up when windows starts up)
Scheduler starts a webradio software with output to virtual soundcard (This may also be done in the patch - as you like)
Scheduler starts Usine with an autostart patch
Patch starts recording and measures the recording time, stop and exit when recording is finished.
The good thing: Windows schedules can wakeup a switched of computer (If the BIOS supports that)
The bad thing: This configuration has so much pitfalls and the most working soultions for virtual soundcards are commercial. There is a free solution
http://jackaudio.org/jack_on_windows but I never had the time to check it out. Jackaudio can accessed via Asio..
Sounds like a hell of problems.....
Maybe someone has a better idea than mine, to solve the recording part.
