Total Recorder does it all. Download download.cnet.com

How to record an Internet transmission


1. After starting Total Recorder, in the main toolbar, click the "Parameters..." button. The "Recording source and parameters" dialog appears. Indicate that you want to record "Audio", and make the following settings on the Audio tab:

· Set your recording source to Software.

· In the "Recording format" group, click the "Change..." button and specify the desired target format (see "How to select the optimal sound format").

Press "OK".

2. Press "Record". Total Recorder starts recording sound data when the Internet transmission starts.

3. Launch the Internet transmission. Make sure you hear sound from your speakers.

4. To adjust the recording volume, follow these recommendations:

· Set the recording level to 100% (+0 dB) (use "Level" slider from the "Playing volume and recording level" panel).

· Some programs have playing volume regulators that affect the recording level. If you need to set the playing volume to maximum, try to regulate the playing volume of the recording by changing the playing volume in Total Recorder (use "Vol." slider on the "Playing volume and recording level" panel) and in the System Mixer (use "System mixer..." button () on the "Playing volume and recording level" panel).

· If, after these recommendations, the recording level is not acceptable, try to regulate the recording level using the "Level" slider from the "Playing volume and recording level" panel.

You may wish to make a recording using Total Recorder's scheduler and its minibrowser. For more information, refer to Using a Scheduler overview.

The catch is how the broadcast is being streamed.

Years ago I ripped DI.FM (Sky.FM) using this app: streamripper.sourceforge.net

It was great - command line plus a GUI F/E. Free as it is open source.

Cannot say if it would work today or for your task but something to look into.

Let us know how it goes, however you solved your problem.

Cheers BCB!

Also some radio stations keep back episodes of programs or entire broadcasts. These are the easiest to capture. Get DownloadHelper Extension for FF.
downloadhelper.net
(its free)

Just go to your station (if they archive past broadcasts) select the show you want to download, hit play and Downloadhelper will download the entire show in MP3 format in a few seconds.

Then I edit out the commercials with Audacity.

Note:
Downloadhelper also grabs videos as well.
