from your PC speakers. Anyone remember this or similar?

Anyone experience with this software? I can't get it to record anything
other than silence. Have tried an audio file and a streaming sound file.
More than likely I am doing something wrong. The help section of the
site isn't up yet.

Before anything can record, you need to select the recording channel in
Windows Volume Control. Open it, then...
Options
Properties
Tick "Recording"
Click OK
Tick "Select" under correct source

Thanks. I had messed around with that but still couldn't get it to work.
Finally managed it with a program called RealTime Converter. Freeware,
available at:

Perhaps

requires a _full duplex_ soundcard in order to be able
to record what the soundcard is currently playing.

The other program

does seems to rip the incomming stream without using the soundcard for
recording.
