Geeks' Corner -Advice Please

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

does anyone know if there's a way to save/record a digital radio-broadcast as it plays back?

I can't find it but I think there's summat called "Streamripper" or similar.

Edit - Advice from another forum, play through winamp and use streamripper

Absent adequate merb-scurfing apparatus (merb-proof suit, flashlight, boots with your name painted on them), the easy way to do it is to take a regular stereo cable and hook it up between your speaker port and your line-in port on the sound card. Then use any recording software (MusicMatch, Creative, etc.) to record it. Remember not to hook it to your mic input, though, else you'll get feedback that will have your cat bouncing off the walls in an effort to escape (trust me, Siouxsie Boots always gives me that "oh sh*t" look every time I start footling around on the back panel...:lol:)
