Hi all,

I'm not sure if this is the correct group for this, so I apologise if it
isn't, but I couldn't find another suitable one.

Basically, all I'm after is to record a radio show from the internet. I was
going to tape it using my stereo as I couldn't listen to it at the time, but
I forgot! It is now on the radio station website for a few days and I'd
like to record it to my hard disk so that I can listen to it.

Can anyone recommend any software for doing this easily? I'm hoping I'm not
breaking any copyright laws, as I just want to record it, listen to it, then
delete it, it's just that I can't sit down at the pc and listen to the whole
of it in one go.

Thanks in advance,

Grendel.

total recorder!

There are several comp.sys.ibm.pc.sound.... newsgroups that
deal spcifically with your question. You are correct in suspecting
that this isn't exactly the right newsgroup.

My favorite is Total Recorder from www.highcriteria.com
$12 last time I checked. Cheap at twice the price.

This appears to be the same as the time-shifting argument in the
VCR case a couple of decades ago (the ruling was that this use is
okay), so I don't see a problem. OTOH, IANAL. HTH...

There's a $5 (or it was $5 five years ago) miniphone-TRS to
stereo-RCA cable at Radio Shack that you can record from the
computer's line out to your tape recorder. This may be easier than
getting recording software to work while your Internet streaming
program runs, especially on an older computer, there could be dropouts
because the recording software takes extra processor/bus/disk bandwith
above what the Internet stream player takes.

Thanks in advance,

Grendel.

It seems like this should be a feature of some of the free software
like Real Audio, Winamp or Windows Media Player, but the one that
everyone points to is Total Recorder (whih costs a little money). It's
pretty "total" though - does more than I'm smart enough to use.

When I want to record a radio program, I use my VCR. Total Recorder
has a similar timer to start recording when you're not around.

There's a shareware called WireTap 1.0 that's designed specifically to do this.
www.ambrosiasw.com.
It's for MacOSX.
