recommendations?

dbPowerAMP Music Converter (with optional Auxiliary Input installed).
Freeware. v11 has a limited-time trial for the part that outputs .mp3
files (v10 has no time limit on outputting .mp3 files)

The XMPlayer is very very small and allows you to capture to an MP3 file
anything that is currently playing. Sorry, but no timer recordings.

Gene,

dbPowerAMP looks promising. I tried it, and it works well. Thanks for
the information.

But how does dbamp record streaming fare?

If I understand correctly, your question is "how" it records, not "how
well" it records it.

Install the optional, free "Auxiliary Input" extension to dbPowerAMP Music
Converter. Start the dbPowerAMP Auxiliary Input (it goes into "pause" mode
at this point.) Start your streaming audio (e.g., Windows Media Player, or
RealPlayer, or whatever.) Take the dbPowerAMP Auxiliary Input out of
"pause" mode into "record" mode, and it records whatever sound your
soundcard puts out (i.e., the streaming audio.)

Audio Grabber is primarily billed as a CD ripper, but it will also capture
streaming audio and convert it to mp3. It has a timer so that you can
schedule the length and time of your recordings.

Does v10 have the Aux Input built in? I cant find a link for it.

No, r10 doesn't have Auxiliary Input built in (r11 does). Auxiliary Input
was a separate download with r10 (mine is called dMC-Aux-Input3.exe -
535KB), but there doesn't appear to be a link for it anymore on the
dbPowerAMP web site.

You could try http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-Aux-Input.exe. I don't
know if it's the same as dMC-Aux_Input3.exe, but it's the same filesize, so
maybe it'll work.

I use audiograbber for cds. I didn't know it had that function. Does
it capture via the sound card or does it use the same digital process
as it does for cd ripping?

============
I *think* it is digital, but I'm certainly open to correction here.

Ah yes. Always wondered what the Aux was used for. Thank you sir!
