can anyone recommend (free) PC audio software that will record
streaming audio from the internet to mp3 (at least 128 kbps) ??

is
http://www.freecorder.com/
any good ??

I want to record the John Peel special...

I use Goldwave and record any online audio straight in as a Wav, play around with it, cut it into tracks then burn a CD.

Then convert the Wavs with dBpowerAMP into 320kbps MP3 files. for storage.

I'm a bit stupid, so i will ask (problably the same ) question.
I want to record a track playing on a flash site. so I have to record it when its played.
I can't download it...
do I have to use the same prog..
or is it something els
or am i just plain stupid?

freecorder (above) will only record at 64kbps, unless you buy
the registered version which allows recording at 128 kbps.

I have discovered that Nero soundtrax will record streaming audio to
.wav.format, so Im going to use this.

If you want, go get this :

Then PM me

For streaming audio - Streambox VCR. It doesn't re-encode but downloads the original source file. If you have a slow connection just tell it you have T1 LAN in options and it'll download the highest possible quality stream if theres different quality versions available.

For audio in flash files, download the .swf file and use a flash decompiler to rip the mp3 from it.

Dan,

I have S VCR ver 1 beta3 - but I cant get the damn thing to
pull any audio streams off the bbc radio 1 website, namely
the john peel tributes (inc parts 2 & 3 ) that i want......
when I put in the link address in it just down loads about 26 kb of
html for that page and thats it.
(example link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_a ... ?r1peelpt2 )

Any advice you have would be gratefully received
(or anyone else on the subject)

view source
ctrl f - search for embed
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/rpms/r1peelpt2.rpm
download that file (125 bytes) with streambox
open it in notepad
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/r1peelpt2.ra (ignore the stuff after .ra)
and download with streambox (the file is 50mb)

You could get an account here:

then use BitTorrent to download them. There are loads of boots up here (not many Sisters ones though).

I can't get into the Peel Tribute page to give you the link for the Torrent file though.

Looking at it, it may have maxed out their users. It says they have 100,000 registered users now.

many thanks for your help, both of you

Ive recounted and understood your steps Dan,
and pasted the link rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/r1peelpt2.ra
into Streambox, with both the "file name set by source" checkbox on
and off, and it shows the 50.2MB download, but only downloads
exactly 380Kb before timing out
(even with unlimited retries on it does nothing more).

Perhaps its doing some sort of fancy redirect to stop you downloading
(source):
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/r1peelpt2.ra?start="00:00:00"
<!--rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/radio1/g2/aod/unavailable_female.rm-->

I dunno. any suggestions would be most welcome

thanks again

If you'd have checked your pm's you'd have found a link to a newer version of streambox that will download those links.
I don't know what "file name set by source" is. Basically all you need to change is go into options and set connection to T1 LAN. You only need to do this once. Even if you don't have a T1 it ensures you get the best available stream. Don't change anything else.
Then just copy your link, select EDIT-Paste link, and you should find you don't have to paste the link because it's already been auto-detected.
