Recording streamed music off the internet onto C.D.?

I'm thinking about buying a c.d. recorder to record some music but I have some questions first.  I would be buying it mainly to record music off of an internet radio station that I would not otherwise have access to (dj sets with no track listings...).  The thought of having a c.d. recorder brings me to another question though; if I were to record m.q.a. tracks straight from Tidal, why would they not be high resolution?  And lastly, what are the laws regarding recording music off of a site that you've paid to have access to?

I stand corrected then I didn't realize you could record streams.

Thanks for the feedback!  I'm not wanting to do anything illegal so I'll send a message to the radio station that I want to record and ask them what there take on it is...  I could see how recording tracks off of Tidal might be wrong (how much does the actual artist make from Tidal?  And Jay Z has plenty of $ already...) but I'm not sure if the radio station that I am trying to record cares; I'll keep you posted.  Also, my take on it is, there is no way to purchase these dj sets but if I recorded them and found new artists that I like I could then go and buy any music that they do have for sale, as well as promote their music to friends who have similar tastes... seems that that would be beneficial to the artists, no?
