There is an app that does this - streamripper

mplayer does this as well, not just for mp3 but also real audio and windows audio streams as well.

Code Sample

mplayer -playlist http://url.to.audiostream -ao pcm -aofile mystream.wav

Just take the resultant wav file and encode it to whatever format you desire (try ogg, it's crunchy).
