Capturing a real audio stream to MP3

Daz · 11-05-2007, 11:03

Namely, a BBC radio 'listen again' stream. Any ideas how I'd go about capturing that to a file?

[edit] The RPM is here:

RA is here:

Hmm, isn't there a plugin for Firefox that allows one to capture anything which is streamed to the local drive? Once done it should be simple to just convert.

If there is I don't know about it. Google-fu it is!

I'll do it for you tonight if you like. Mp3 ok?

Daz · 11-05-2007, 14:02

Spot on

That's 2 beers I owe you

leowyatt · 11-05-2007, 14:04

heh, I'll just re-install the app when I get home and set it going. I've offer to send it to you to use yourself but sadly it only runs on PPC

well actually it will run on Intel, but you need a Mac

leowyatt · 11-05-2007, 22:27

here you are. Ripped straight to mp3. By a mac

I'd send you the program for future use but it only works - on a mac

You seem to be suggesting that, perhaps, one might need a mac. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Of course, there is more than one mac owner on this forum.

Spot on dude, I'm dropping it into the library for a listen tomorrow

For the sensible people without a mac there is http://www.hidownload.com/. I've used it in the past and have a serial number for an older version if anyone is interested.
