How do I capture good fm stereo to cd? or digital?

I'd like to record off the fm stereo, onto something portable, but not cassette. Is it possible to capture the great-sounding fm ? I've heard fm stations "enhance" their signals for better sound. What equipment would be good for the recording of fm stations ?

thanks !

I run my tuner through my CD burner then to the preamp, etc.
CD burner is set to "record - external signal". Then I just press the "record" button when I hear a song I like.
Note that analog is recorded at -12dB vs. digital is -2dB or you will get distortion.
I use CDR-W's then if I don't like the song, I can erase the last track recorded. Radio isn't the best anyhow so I don't care about reduced sound quality of multiple burn-overs on CDR-W's. I burn CDR-W to CDR when I'm done anyhow.
