Stream ripping software

[yronnen]

Hi,

I'm looking for a stream ripping software (i.e. recording internet radio). What's your recommendations?

Thanks.

I am not savy at anything like that but I think that VLC will do what you need. Remember, I said 'think'. I think is says so on this page.

Audacity will do that for you. Just need to set the input to something like "stereomix" or something like that. It should do what you need.

What sort of streaming format, exactly?

An audio recorder does work, but with specific stream-capture utility the exact streamed file can be saved.

Either mp3 or wma.

Just find the URL and download it with your browser or a download manager.

I assume it's streamed via standard HTTP?

Using download manager solves it partially; it downloads the stream but at some point decides that the download was completed successfully. Anyway, I've found a solution. I'm using "Web Stream Recorder Pro" from http://www.sytexis.com/index.php.

out of all the solutions, i'd say the plugin is best, but with audio recording, you'd suffer major quality loss. i've done straight recording from device to device before, and lost all treble and bass so the music sounds completely flat.

it would be better to try to download it than record it because not only will the sound quality lack, but also, your CPU usage could freeze your entire computer....and audio recording is similar to video editing...raw recorded data is pretty large...a song thats 5mb on your hard drive could be as much as 70mb raw

You can use HiDownload. It can download anything you want. It downloads the actual files (doesn't record anything)

I have it, it's not bad. Like FlashGet but more features and less speed.

You might want to give Total Recorder a try, http://www.totalrecorder.com/

I've used it with good results:

"Capture any sound played by a computer including live Internet broadcasts (streaming audio).

Record sound coming through a microphone or played by an external device such as a tape player, LP player, portable music player, etc.

Capture video from the PC screen or from hardware video devices; merge video with audio tracks into AVI files; edit video files without re-encoding using the Video Add-on.

Record Internet broadcasts on a user-defined schedule much like a conventional VCR.

Convert between different sound formats either directly or by re-recording.

Normalize, split, cut, or join compressed audio files; edit tags; automatically split a long broadcast into smaller pieces and tag them.

Process digital audio through add-ons: equalizer, audio cleaning, noise cancellation, automatic gain control.

Process (for example, convert, normalize, etc.) a group of files, such as an entire folder, with a single operation."
